Unusual shape Warangka?

Who can tell me more about the origin of this small Keris ?
The Bahari blade with specific "greneng" measured 22 cm/ 8.5 inches (not including the pesi)
The demam grip has an old patina (but unfortunately have a crack)
For me the Warangka has an unusual shape, but everything seems original fit together.

all comments welcome, thanks in advance :)

I think this is a minangkabau keris. Very nice! Congrats!

Agree with Henk, Minangkabau, very unusual sheath form! Don't know for the moment if I schould like it! :shrug:

thank you for your comments

it's maybe not everyone's choice, but I'm pleased to hear that it is a original Minangkabau form
the typical form we see more often or some varieties of it, although they are seldom offered for sale.

And in some way I was attracted to it because of its rarity :shrug:

Regards,
