Sajen,

In the example you show, am I not seeing (in the attached enlargement) evidence of not just the kembang kacang, but also the jalen and a suggestion of lambe gajah? This seems very keris-like in its depiction. Am I missing something?

Ian.

There is a type of golok, named as Curug Aul. Belief to be the weapon of high rank soldier from Pajajaran and Sumedang Kingdoms.
I saw some variations on it, sometime the lambe gajah, telale gajah, and jalen are on the back or the opposite. What i have seen mostly very well made, a beauty but seems deadly. If i am not mistaken Curug Aul is a beast, the wild dog.
