New keris I picked up. I know nothing about them. Help!

Lets just say how paranoid I was to rotate the grip! It was on very tight and I was a little scared to break something. However, I was able to turn it in the correct orientation. While doing that, I was able to slip it out off the tang a bit to get a photo, but I didn't want to pull anymore than this. It is still on very snug. It looks like a steel rod perhaps 1/4" in diameter.

The blade does fit snugly into the sheath. You can tell it was carved specifically for this piece.
