As is discussed in that thread, there is some question as to whether or not this is "officially" a keris. I would still put it in my own keris collection.

Even more so Mick's example in the linked thread.

There is another example of this type of "keris" at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco (albeit badly photographed and mis identified). There is an enlagement feature if you click onto the photo: http://search.famsf.org:8080/search.shtml?keywords=kris
Shiva is said to have three eyes, the third is generally depicted closed because when it opens, watch out!
