the kris certainly needs to be undergoing a cleaning and then , ideally, a staining to reveal its completely pamor .
The coiled shape in that area isn't uncommon but it may be incorporated in different pamors
You also appear to have a fractured ganja which is something that may give you some problems if and when you decide to clean and stain as it , most probably, will come off.
The hilt appears to be modernly made in the Madurese stile while the sarong appears to have been made to look like a Balinese-ish sarong but it is not. The blade appears to be dhapur Tilam Upih (?) which is not uncommon in Madura.
