Kris scabbard identification
Just checking with you guys, is this scabbard Javanese or Bugis or Banjarmasinese? I found a Bugis keris fitted into it. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance. Mykeris.

Looks more Sumatran, with Minang and Palembang influence..

Thanks Alam Shah, if no objections from other forumites, I will brand this Sampir (sheath) as `A Bugis version Sampir (Kemuning wood) of the Riau-Lingga Era`

Before branding this sampir, here are a few questions. What is your definition of 'Riau-Lingga Era'? Riau-Lingga is a archipelago, made up of islands. How can an era be tagged to a region without a determining time period? Thru' time, the riau-lingga region had encountered influences and evolved. Where did you the provenance come from? What are the features of a Bugis sampir? What are the features of a Riau-Lingga sampir? I agree that the wood is kemuning (in malay), but also identified by other names in different regions.

It looks Banjarmasin to me with Bugis influence.

I would go for Minang-Palembang marriage, and most probably Riau. And yes, with Bugis influence
