Reflected in the separation of the individual elements at the base; plain and twisted; and how they all join together further down suggesting the sculptural elements of a keris blade in a way .

I always kind of read this blade's pattern as reflecting that .

Yeah, I see what you mean.

I doubt that anybody could deny the relationship between between the Moro style keris and Javanese keris when they see something such as can be seen in the construction of this blade.
