Gustav, i am not sure where you got the idea that no one here likes this material for hilts. I think i have expressed in the past that i thought molar was a difficult material to render fine detail in, but i have seen many more that one example that i thought desirable.
I also agree with Alan that this is not a recent keris and is a fine example at that.

Thank you all very much for the comments!

For the keris: I have one unpleasant characteristic - I am very critical to the things I really like, for which I am not indifferent. I am very glad to read, the blade can have some age.

Here the close ups of hilt and one, in which you can see the surface of the blade close to real appearance in life.
