Keris Bugis?

Thanks again for the comments and suggestions. It is my understanding that Bugis blades are usually almost hexagonal in cross-section, which is why I didn't think this blade matched the dress. The grain in the buntut is hard to make out due to its narrowness and the grooves carved into it. It is definitely a few shades lighter in color than the rest of the sheath, however, but whether that is due to different woods or different finishes is beyond me.

I will indeed look into replacing the mendak.
