Hi Michel,
That state keris,
Tatarapa Sangajikai or
Samparaja, is from Bima, East Sumbawa. Although looks similar, the form is different. The hilt, hilt cup, sheath's crosspiece, shaft and end-piece are different.. decorations and design are more elaborate.. the influence we can see in Central Sumatra in a simplier form, imho.
