Being an ethnic Chinese myself, I once commissioned 2 kerises in Madura, one with the "double dragon persuing pearl" motif carved on the crosspiece (wrangka/sampir) to complement a Naga Pengantin blade which turned out quite well and no doubt there are some Chinese influences here and there given the many Chinese in the archipelago and doing similar things along the way. But the 2 pieces have been sold before I took any pictures.

But hilts here don't seemed to look quite Chinese...
