Keris from Sumatra??

Hello Ruud,

The keris itself, blade with handle, is from sumatra, minangkabau area. A small piece from the ring is missing. Handle looks pretty nice, horn? Perhaps you can make some more detailed photo's? The sheath does not belong to this keris and looks to me as from borneo. I cant see if the sheath is complete or perhaps cut down. If it is complete it is a nice sheath but unfortunatly there is no sword (mandau?) to fill it.
