The hilt of this sword is typical Visayan work from Panay, and the scabbard is consistent with that origin also. It is a flamboyant-bladed sword, but not similar to either a kris or keris in several key aspects, as others have noted already.

Agreed with this. There is also a small version of this piece. Kris-like blades used to be spread throughout the archipelago.
