Hello Erik,

The seller thought it was Minangkabau.
Mainly because of the form of the ship I think Northern Sumatra/Gayo.

I also think this is a Minang Kabau keris - and a nice one at that!
The sampir can be quite variable in Minang scabbards; this seems to be an established style though. The silver work looks typical Minang to me; so does the selut. Could you please post pics of the hilt and the blade? Thanks!
Regards,
Kai
