I don't personally understand the re-visioning of a keris in this manner and AFAIK this is not a dahpur that fits into any known pakem. Perhaps someone else knows otherwise. Whenever i see a keris cut up in this manner i always cringe a bit, but maybe there is some purpose for this that i do not understand.

I guess this is a patrem, but the dress seems too large for one.
