Silver and Horn Keris from Malaysia

Thank you for your comments gentlemen. I am enlightened.

Since it is not a keris, is it some kind of jewelry then?

Well, i don't see how it cold be considered jewelry. I'd say most likely it is a presentation piece probably made to someone outside the culture or it was created as a souvenir made for those who travel for pleasure. I have a hard time seeing such an object as having any part in actual indigenous keris culture.
