Default Toraja hit

This old Sulawesi keris Hit is strange and for me is a good example of an ancient tradition (tribal arcaic tradition, not classic tradiction) direct not only to a classic weapon (keris) but also to classic sulawesi style handle (the sides of base of handle)
This hit has thin metal foil strongly pressed over a complete wood's body.
Over the foil the hit maker has traced the pattern of the underlyne wood.
