Even enlarging the images on my computer screen i am afraid that these photos don't have a high enough resolution to really see the work well enough to draw solid conclusions, if any are even possible. But given the difference in the quality if carving skills between the gandik and the naga, is it possible that this naga was added to an older keris at a later period?
