I have a lot of questions, but few statements about this object. Is this a keris from Djogyakarta or just the dress? Dapor Sempana Kalentang? Teak burl wranka? Alas alan motif on the pendok bunton? The blade is old enough to have lost its stain, how long does that take? Overall quality. I noticed for example the "shoulders" of the hilt are slightly asymmetrical. Thanks in advance for any help and clarity the group wants to give.

Warangka maybe from ordinary mango wood. Ordinary is to differentiae with curly mango and limus piit.
