The kendit on the hilt and sheath cross-piece, doesn't look natural to me. As for the kembang kacang, I'm with David.. perhaps it and after thought.. looking at the structure, where the kembang kacang is, seems disturbed, as though it's attached.. of course, I could be mistaken..
I will clean the blade and maybe this will give some better idea of the kembang kacang. It seems like an original item to me, but crudely finished.

As for the pellet. If possible I will make some better pictures.

Best regards,
Willem

Anybody noticed how the grain above the kendit line and the grain below it is different?

Yes, I do.. besides that, the colour looks 'kinda off', as though it is treated.. or is it the lighting effect?
