Very interesting Mataram keris, Pak Ganjawulung...
And to make more interesting, here I posted my keris with relief too. The kinatah on this keris is original, but some side had worn off
So, perhaps you can give me advises regarding my keris, like tangguh and dapur.. ect...
Every opinion wellcome...

Mans,

thank you for uploading.
perhaps, the corroded panji wilis at the gandik has the same motive as a relief on the top of lizard head.

Thank you for your opinion Pak Raden,
But my keris had "King" relief / figure on the gandik.
So, do perhaps the kinatah motif under the gonjo is a Jamang (front of the crown)

Mans,

When I looked closely, your gandik seems like a human figure in a squatting position, wearing a wayang headgear, including the earpiece. Perhaps just my imagination. The blade is beautiful. I love looking at the layering on the blade, side profile.

Mans,
High possibilites that the figure at gandik sure looks like a squatting man wearing a headgear - possibly a king wearing the crown. That kinatah at the ganja could be jamang motifs. Impressive!!!
