We did...just hoping that more info can be acquired for this piece...
Probably...it cannot even be moved, even with the heating technique.

It certainly appears as if it is a seperate piece since there is a seperate gonjo. The blade itself looks old, but the gold work looks new. Have you ever had the inscriptions translated?

It appears that way. I believe that the talismanic inscriptions were a later add-on too (at least more than 17 years ago). The inscriptions had been translated, many years back...

I'm not sure i would classify your keris as sajen either, since it seems to have a seperate gonjo and hilt (even if the hilt is welded, it still must be seperate). But it seems to be more than just a keris made for collection purpose.

Perhaps? Any idea on its purpose?

What is it about this keris that gives you the impression it was used by a healer?

David, esoterically speaking, it's just a probable guess...
