I need your help on identification of this piece - from where, age, purpose, and anything else you see and can help.

The dress is gold, the wood has flashing grains, and the selut is brass. I figure that the blade is older than the rest.

Thank you.
Hi there ,
Here i include this picture as a comparison to your keris.
and i agree with David that the blade looks a bugis sulawesi.
also my blade is buginesse and it was found in sumbawa ,the warangka ,hilt & buntut are ivory.
