Javanese Keris?

[harrywagner]

Thanks David. Here are what I hope are better pictures. I agree about the split blade being intentional. It makes the piece even more interesting. I like it, whatever it's intended use. Here is the info the seller provided:

"Indonesian Keris from Yogyakarta region (Java). Carved wooden hilt represents mythical serpent Nanga Sasra. The Wilah (blade) is wavy (13 dapor lok) with elaborated forging pattern (pamor) and a slot representing the mythical serpent Nanga Sara."
