Hello Semar,

I would guess that it is a Minagkabau keris. Look at my examples for comparison.
BTW, which material is the hilt, warangka and buntut?
Nice keris!

I agree with Sajen in that this appears to be from Sumatra, a Minagkabau keris to be more precise.
Semar, i deleted your other thread because it was about this same exact weapon. Sorry for any confusion you may have had.

Hello Semar,

very nice keris. I wasn't sure if warangka and hilt are also from ivory, by the buntut I am nearly sure.

Regards,
