Hi Ria, I understood what you're trying to imply. Your reference did help me recalled where I've seen the example. Thank you. Btw, there's not many reference to this type.

Could you elaborate how does having the one-piece construction or the metal hilt enhance it talismanic value?

The reason I asked is, because I have a similar type which I hope you could assist.

This one-piece type with a longer conventional keris blade, any idea when did this form started to appear? Or had it evolved from a ceremonial piece into its existing modern form?
