Since I received the first comments I went looking around a bit more... The rabbit hole this keris has led me to explore is getting deeper and deeper, very fascinating! It has also taken a weird turn by chance... another user mentioned a Pangeran Diponegoro today... never heard of that guy either, but basic information is available about almost anything these days, including him. Interesting figure for sure! It also mentioned a famous keris of his that has been returned to Indonesia from the Netherlands. Never heard of that before either, but I'm sure you have. I went to have a look at that keris and I felt pretty weirded out... to my untrained eyes, it looks very similar... although with the gonjo intact and in much better shape... hardly any gold left on mine.
Any plausible explanation for that? :O
