The dress of this keris is made after old examples. Wrangka with the winged horse and crown and the floral motivs on the gandar. Same for the ukiran.

The keris itself is what Lew said. Recently made and a rough made dapur. Just like you see with old blades reshaped in a trident. The reshape of those blades is often done with more craftmanship.

I'm afraid this is a very recent tourist thing.
