Kris naga

The naga does not seem to have been added but carved from the blade itself, the chiselling is not perfect indeed, and the filing marks on the edges were made for removing the superficial rust. I plan to ship the blade to Solo for cleaning and warangan so we may better see the carving and pamor details.
BTW I checked my reference books but could not find any similar blade (style of naga, greneng, ganja), but I vaguely remember a discussion by Gustav about this style of greneng?
The blade is only 33 cm long.
Regards
