It just happened to me to find a similar keris which is in the collection of the Moscow State Museum of Oriental art. It is described as a 19th cent. Sumatran manufacture, 3luk, pamor adeg, ivory java deman hilt, not original silvered copper mendak, ivory sheath with 3 brass rings. It is described as a miniature and a talisman.
Here are the measurements in cms, compared with those of my keris:

Moscow keris My keris

total length 24,6 22

keris " 21,5 20

blade " 15,6 14

hilt " 5,4 5,7

Enclosed a photo from the museum catalogue

Sorry, the measures appear quite blurred. It should be like this:

24,6/22
21,5/20
15,6/14
5,4/5,7

Therefore my keris is a bit smaller
