sepokal for ID and comments

Dear All,

I would highly appreciate any technical and aesthetical comments on this Keris.

It seems to be all original (even buntut) Bugis Sepokal, with a see ivory (I think) hilt.

The length of the blade: 33,2 cm (13,07 inches)
The width of the gonjo: 8,2 cm (3,23 inches)

An interesting detail is the older damage on one side of batang, where it possibly should appear, when the sarung is held in the left hand for parrying(?). Has anybody see something resembling?

Is there a region (Bugis) which preferes Pamor Uler Lulut?

Kind regards,
Gustav
