Ooh... a rare form of Riau Bugis keris handle or East Sumatran... I think Dave has a couple of examples of ite more common cousin. Look at the subtle but beautiful refinements on the neck and on the head of the handle.
But, without the sheath, its quite hard to pin down it down for sure. The blade is probably East Sumatran. Not quite the typical Riau keris blade.
