The blade is simply too clean IMHO, especially for truly corroded bronze (in the ground no less ).

Also, I wonder if the "princess" in the first hilt is a naga spirit.
During my last trip in Yogya i found another similar hilt. The seller told me it comes undergrownd near Klanten (between Yogya and Solo). This is the hilt. Have any kerisfriends seen another like this? Can anyone help me to understand? Is this a keris hilt or another hilt?
