I'm in a field in which I know next to nothing. I obtained this Keris because in my eyes it is a beauty. This Keris has a 12.5" blade. The hilt is 3.25". The blade is beefy, with no visible Pamur. It is missing the hilt cup. The hilt seems to be carved out of horn, but I'm not sure. It has a green tint and irridescent reds in the sunlight.

What part of the Indonesian Archipelago did it hail from? Dapur? What type of hilt is this? Type of hilt cup needed? Age?

The last photo is of todays early greeting.
