I would certainly need to examine this more closely, but Kai might be on the right track considering the possibility that it is Moro made in the likeness of an Indo keris.

I am as well not sure and never would put my hand in fire for this. But when I remember correct we have discussed some time ago a similar blade with such a "cut out" kembang kacang. Very unusual kris and I am not very surprised that this piece don't went high by the auction.
