Hello Willem,
The filigree decoration looks more elaborate than on some other (older?) pieces. The selut seems matching, I saw the pictures of a similar one belonging to a famous German collector recently. I don't know if the piece was recently gilded or not but would not think so because of the stones. Regarding the origin of the kris, it was found and refurbished by my partner in Solo.
Best regards
Jean

Are these thin gold or gilt silver/brass? They look like gilt brass to me...

Yep, normally they are gilt brass. Is that a bad thing

Nope just curious - gold would be royal and more expensive.
