Ceremonial moro keris? Comment needed!

The calligraphic style on "Bismillahi rahmani rahim (In the name of God, most Gracious, most Merciful)" is standard Arabic, but the one for "Allahu Akbar (God is great)" probably has strong local Moro influence. It's a very interesting rendition. They were obviously inscribed separately by two different people and probably at two different times.

I like the mother of pearl inlay on the sampir... we don't see much of that.
