This kris was auctioned today and it was sold for a relatively hefty hammer price of Euro 2,200 (not to me). What struck me is the unusual blade decoration . Does anyone has similarly decorated blades. ? If so, would love to see them here.

Is this a genuine kris decoration and if so, by which tribes? or it is just mere fanciful decoration commissioned by some rich people ?
