1. nope, it is originally made like that

2. yes

3. no

though the dress type is commonly found in Kelewang, I disagree that this was a kelewang

the existence of sogokan is the proof that this one is a variant of Sundrik

not the commonly seen, but not kelewang in my opinion

see the comparison specimen on the photo - belonged to a friend in Mataram
