Keris - javanese blade in Kedah mounts?

Is it elephant or whale btw?

Hello Gustav,

very interesting keris, congrats! Not sure if the blade is javanese. I see also Madura and Minang features, or I am wrong? Can you post pictures from the blade alone that we can see the pesi?

Thor, handle material is clearly hippo ivory IMHO.

Hello Detlef,

I am missing the typical spots along the crack - hippo has been quite commonly used with peninsular and Sumatran hilts though. Maybe some more pics could help, Gustav?

Hello Kai,

I think that I see exactly this at the 5. picture from the up. Maybe Gustav can confirm.
