Comparison of Naga Motif between different Keris cultures
I hereby attach images to compare the Minangkabau Keirs Naga motif with the naga motifs of different keris cultures.
I have one question about the last image with the 4 Naga Javanese Keris. Is this a traditional Pakem or a new Kamardikan design? |

Hello Alexish,
Your naga motif 2 (the 2 pics on the left, old blades) is commonly called "primitif" style in the collectors circles. Regards |

I am not sure but this specific style with a hole under the naga head seems to be Malay/ Sumatrese, see pic. Primitive naga blades are also found in Java with a different style but some of them may not be original (naga head carved later). Regards |

Please see attached image. There seems to be Banjar, Javanese and Pattani versions of this hole motif. |
