New keris I picked up. I know nothing about them. Help!

I truly appreciate everyone's comments. While i have acquired a few Filipino blades and edged weapons from that part of the world over the years, this is my first Keris and if I intend to keep it, I want it to be considered a higher quality piece, much like the other swords in my collection.

When I first saw the blade, I knew it looked to be better than ones I have handled in the past. But still, this is unfamiliar territory for me and the education provided from all your comments really helps. For that, I thank you.
