Hi Kai Wee,
thank's for comment. You confirm the the comment from Penangsang about hilt and pendokok, so I have to change both by time when I will find something more adequate.
I don't know if you know the book "The Invincible Krises 2". There is shown at page 49 a Peninsula keris which have a pendok with nearly the same motif. The author write that this shows the peony flower (queen of flower) and that this shall show a chinese influence. I have no proof if this is correct.
