Are the eyes are made from a different material?

What is the difference between Cirebon/Tegal?

Bill, Cirebon and Tegal are both Northern Coast in Jawa. Cirebon was its own Sultanate established in the 16th century and Tegal was a regency of Mataram established in the early 17th century. They can apparently share certain traits in their keris, perhaps due to being so geographically close to one another.
