Do you know more about how, and for what, a dukun used the small keris?

Wow, Michael,
It is amazing that you, in Sweden, still have an original keris. I dare to say, that you don't change any parts of the keris. And probably, it hasn't changed yet from the origin. Everything, from blade, sheath, hilt, pendhok perak (silver), seems old and not changed...
I just had a few experience in practitioner's kerises. What I saw once or twice is, that the practitioner believed in magical strength of the keris, to get the answer of his customer's request. Maybe Mas Boedi Adhitya knows better than me on this field...
