I strongly suspect that this had a pendok in the past, & that it was likely to have been suasa (low content gold alloy).
It was most likely without any motif.

I beg to differ, Alan:
Yes, this would be the Palembang standard for high-end keris.
However, the selut is from silver and of an average quality. For a suasa pendok, I would expect a selut in gold.
The scabbard wood could use some TLC - it's probably of decent quality (commonly without pendok for most keris Palembang).
