Btw, do you know the actual name and role of that demon in Hindu culture?

Hi Anthony,
I'm not sure this is a Bali keris. I think possibly its source may be Lombok.
These Iras blades turn up now and then, but not too often, the style, (is this the word I'm looking for?) certainly seems consistent. I'd almost think that the same Smith may have made more than a few of this construction. This keris is discussed in the forum archives.

Anyway, back to the totogan discussion.
