IMO to put a keris on this kind of board is the same to put a little ET in crib...but of course is only my personal taste


...Here some keris hits with (i suppose) borneo patterns

I think the 1st 2 pics are of a Tajong-like hilt produced by non-native carvers. So the motif cannot be considered accurate for Tajongs.
