Hello Empu Kumis,

The wrangka is in my opinion a typical example for Solo. The blade is typical javanese. A blade from Jogya is mostly smaller, more delicate. That's why I think in this case the blade is from Solo too. The ukiran is typical bugis. The mandak was probably a bugis one too, but i don't know what happened with it.
