It looks like a mish-mash of styles thrown together. The hilt looks like new ivory, not particularly well carved and then colored to look old. Perhaps an old Javanese pendok thrown onto newly carved sheath. The blade is a bugis style. I too am having difficulty accepting this as a style of keris that is indigenous to Borneo.
