Looks to be a small, well worn, keris Madura. The wooden hilt is quite simple by Madurese standards. The wrangka is more impressive.
Insights appreciated. |

AFAIK this style of hilt is called sandang walikat. A nice and old specimen of Madurese kris.

By the way, the pendok seems to be missing and the black horn inserts on the gandar are probaly more recent than the waranga itself.
