Yes it's a Keris with all the characteristics of a (recent) production of Madura (The handle, the sheath, the realization of the blade and pamor).

For me, the decorations were hand painted on the fabric.
Whenever I saw (on the internet) fabrics with this type of painting the provenance was always Bali.
