Recently purchased on ebay. Quite large for a kukri – it measures 21” overall. My guess is that it is a ceremonial/sacrificial sword. There are faint traces of inlaid foliage designs all over the blade but they can hardly be seen in pictures. I did some research while waiting for it to arrive in the mail and believe that a crowned guy and a snake depicted on the hilt symbolize Krishna emerging victorious from the throat of the demon Aghasura : http://www.iskconbangalore.org/killing-aghasura-demon.
