Very peculiar keris this one.
Boto adeg blumbangan, tiny kembang kacang that is out of proportion, odo2, pawakan reminiscent of Bugis, greneng that does not say anything at all about Jawa. It looks as if it is in Javanese dress, but I rather doubt that this is a Javanese blade. Too many anomalies. |

does greasy mean "Nggajih"?
The straight blade with very prominent condong leleh looks very Sumatran to me, probably of Palembang or Lampung provenance. If the dress was original, then the closest to Jawa would be Cirebon. The ricikan is Sumatran of course. |

No penangsang.
Nggajih means "fat", certainly, but it refers to the appearance of some pamor, not to the feel of it. |
