Hi

I don't really know anything about keris as they are not what I collect, but I appreciate the quality of workmanship involved. This keris handle recently came with some tribal things I bought - could anyone please tell me something about it - eg. area its from, age range etc...

Height is approximately 8.5cm

Thanks in advance and regards.
