I would confirm it is an ivory hulu from Sumatra (the nerve is running through ter centre, you can also see it at the brest part).
This is a personal Burung handle with a similar brass selut. A lotus model.

Ganapati, your ivory hilt is certainly a Sumatran form, but the pendokokdoes not seem correct for this hilt. It seems a bit undersized for the part for one thing. But despite Paul's example which he names as Sumatran i am not sure this is actually a Sumatran style of pendokok. Here is that same form of pendokok, but this is on a Peninsula keris. I have seen this exact style on other keris from the peninsula as well, but it does not seem to be too common on Sumatran keris.
