This is a Balinese keris with 7 Luks.
Balinese Hilt (also known as danganan) is in the form of Bima.
Probably made from ebony wood.

Sheath is in the Balinese ladrang form.
Blade needs cleaning (obviously ).
Pamor is Ngulit Semangko (watermelon skin). It is said to enhance the owner’s material well being. Interesting abstract patterns at the sorsoran area.
