spectacular carving for comment

I am very new at collecting kerises and definitely quite ignorant with respect to Indonesian culture. So, I posted photos of this keris as I am trying to learn more and as I have become aware that this is not really the weapon a keris should be.

Thank you for your comments!

PS: I also like the ivory hilt a lot. To me it appears to be in strong contrast to the blade.

PPS: Like the carvings too! I find the loop of the tail of the snake particularly interesting. But I am still fighting with the right name of the beast/beasts.
