Welcome Shawfan. I agree with Rick, new work. The wood of the wrongko and hilt is beautiful. The kinatah (gold part) on the blade looks a little rough, but that might just be because of the way you photographed it in the bright sun. But it almost looks painted on.
 I wouldn't think that a contemporary keris like this one holds all that much mystical power, so you can probably assure your wife that it's safe to have around.

Yes, I think the gold is painted on. But this Keris is much heavier than normal. I have another one with the same gold dragon but the weight is much smaller and the wide of the blade is smaller.
I own 4 Keris but this one on the picture is the heaviest one. I like it

New keris, and a well made dress. As said by the other forum members, your wife has nothing to fear of spirits with this keris.
