From what I can see of the blade, which shows heavy Javanese influence, and looking at the hilt, the keris is probably South Sumatran. The motifs on the hilt and the form of the hilt suggests that it is from an area between Palembang and the Minang heartlands in the central highlands. I would consider this a 'Malay' keris rather than a Bugis keris.
