Default Bugis keris sajen?

I just got the notification that I've won this very unusual keris sajen by a German auction. It's 17 cm long. I was described as "small African dagger"!
What do you think?

So we are already two! It was cheap and it seems not particularly old. But it seems to be a pamor blade. I am curious to hold it in my hands!

I don’t know what to think, but AFAIK keris sajen are not part of Bugis culture.
