What is happening with Fido's foot?

Perhaps there is just the smallest possibility that this entire object has been built around a genuinely old gonjo?

Look at the grain in the metal, and the surface texture : compare the gonjo with the wilah.

It is always very difficult to appraise any keris from a photo, and where an educated seller has an intention to deceive, it is almost always impossible to know what one is looking at in an online image.

But we can guess.
