Keris Information Requested

Here the picture from the above mentioned book. Please understand me correct, I don't will claim that there are original old/antique examples of this sort of "keris", I don't know when this example was collected and how it find it's way in the museum collection.

The description says: " A flamboyant kris from Borneo. The hilt is fitted with a bird's beak; the sheath is decorated with carabao teeth and goat's hair."
