Yes, i believe it may well be a Javanese dhapur and only recently do we see Balinese style keris that employ it.
It is not the fact that your keris has luk with this design that i don't care for. I just don't personally enjoy the double Sekar Kacang on keris. It almost always has an awkward appearance for me, even with keris lurus.
