Is this a Minang Kabau keris?

Thanks and well spotted.
Unfortunately the beak is goneon the Gayo handle, it probably was silver (at least not ivory I think). It has 5 stars around the middle. From Jensen his Kris disc I learned that has to do with the rank of the wearer.

Just had a look at your Minang handles, the are really great! Mine is much simpeler.

Regards, Erik

Nice collection of keris.. I see a Gayo piece within the lot.
