Unusual Keris Dress from where?

Well, for me that's quite the point in discounting the "tourist" dress idea. If indeed this style of dress was being used for tourist trade would we not have seen more of them by now? Also i would think the design a bit too abstract for touristy dress which usually tends towards representational figures.
I think i am more inclined towards East Jawa or Cirebon than Madura, but as Naga Sasra points out, all are possibilities.
