The sheath looks like it has been treated with black pigment. Traditionally, Bugis keris do not have such metal sleeves, so the sheath's "original"-ness is suspect. Anyway, the hilt is nice, and is difficult to come by. The ganja is indeed odd, hence, likely a replacement.

I'm uncomfortable with the gonjo also .
It is not of the same pamor material as the blade IMO . Looks like a fair amount of 'goo' between the two pieces .

 The other thing of course is the blade is not a Bugis blade anyway. Could be Sumatran in origin, but not a Bugis-style blade. The hilt is Sulawesi style, and as I had mentioned before, is quite nice. |
