Appreciation of a Bugis kind

[VVV]

Thanks for the explanation Alan.
It seems probable that if there was a Bugis colony somewhere on Sumba they would carry keris. What I was puzzled by was if there existed a specific distinct Sumba keris culture, like what was the case in Bima, Sumbawa.
Here is an example of the missing blade, debek/bethok, in Kai Wee's excellent Malay keris blade comparison.
