Minangkabau(?) keris

Ariel, take a shot of the entire keris oriented point up with the greneng to the viewer's right.
Would be very helpful.

I don't get a very good feeling from the fossil molar hilt.
The blade is everything pretty much anyway.

What's with that hole at the end of the gonjo in your top view?

Yeah, looking at the top and edge of the gonjo; it seems made to take a decorative covering.

The distressing of the fittings looks like the work of father time.
