Here is mine. But never saw it as Gayo. I was told it was a newish production.

Hello Alexish,
This style of naga seems to be peculiar to the Minangkabau region. I attach an enlarged pic of the sorsoran.

Alexish, do you currently own the keris that you started this thread with or are these photos from an auction site?

Dear David,

these photos are from commercial sites, but these items have been confirmed to be sold several years ago. I understand that this would be in compliance with the forum rules.
