Keris patrem ?

Possibly even a charm to charm duit from the pockets of travellers into a sellers pockets.

But seriously, yes, sure it could be regarded as a charm with talismanic properties, provided it has been made as such.

I only know one person in Jawa & Bali who can make a keris using the correct mantras. Only one. And he will only make such a keris for a temple, not for an individual.

True that, to charm duit.

Many thanks for your comments, Pak Daud and Alan. I do not consider this item a talisman, I only consider this small "keris" a nice and uncommon manufacture which will not disfigure into my modest keris collection.
