It seems to be silver on brass and nice work except for the missing ball.
This doesn't strike me as a Jawa mendak.
As Alan and Kai Wee had mentioned, the mendak is not from Sumatra.

Some examples of Sumatran ring/cup (pendokok/pendongkok/pendoko). [link]

An example of a Minangkabau form that would be fitting for your piece. [link]
