[QUOTE=David]I understand Willem, to each there own. For me i'd say it's right up my alley. I think this is a highly talismanic piece and for some reason i don't think it is a patrem in the sense of a keris for a woman. I think this was possibly used as a dukun's keris, but that is nothing i could prove, merely a hunch and pure conjecture.
Hi David,
this is a good suggestion.

To the idea that it is a talismanic pice I don't come until now.
