Well, size wise it is a keris selit, however, with that silver blade it is not really a keris. This may have been a presentation piece, but i would be surprised if it had any real ceremonial purpose. True keris are either iron or, in rare cases, bronze. A silver blade has no practical or metaphysical purpose in the keris world AFAIK.
