Likely to be Pattani, hypothesis is that it is an 'interpretation' of a Riau keris (dress-wise). Blade is definitely N. Malayan, and the general aesthetics of the dress as well (lanky proportions).

Hi,
The hilt is of wood, which had been stained black, in Pattani tradition. The blade is not bad, but the strong point is really the sheath and the hilt. They are a good example of the very high level of finesse achieved by the N Malayan craftsmen. |
