I think the wood used for the scabbard is beautiful. Too bad the hilt has some damage.
I not even going to speculate as to the area of origin of this one.

Gee Kino,Kerismas come early this year? :D
The dress for this keris is clearly from Madura. The blade looks quite old. Could also be Madura, could be Jawa. What is the material embedded in the blade. I can't judge the color from the picture. Is it silver or gold? Very interesting indeed. :)

David, The dot in the blade is gold in color. Not sure what content is.
What does it represent?
