I have posted this before, but since Alan has mentioned the Bali form, here is an old sunggingan Bali sheath for reference.

Based on the aging/darkening of the paint, I estimate the keris to be about 50 years old. So not antique but not contemporary either.

But I may be wrong...

50 years, maybe a little bit older is contemporary in my eyes. Like said, very nice.
