Another Keris for comment

Hello Harry,
Some replies about your kris:
. The scabbard is in gayaman style from Yogyakarta, and the crosspiece has a valuable kendit band (genuine or dyed?).
. The old wooden hilt is in raksasa (demon) style from the pesisir (Java North Coast). The selut and mendak are of common quality.
. The blade has 13 waves and is old but of common quality, the dapur is not a standard Javanese type (pejetan, tikel alis, sraweyan, and remnants of greneng), and the pamor pattern is rather indistinct.
A good old piece overall IMO.
Regards
