Although i know sometimes this kind of form of can be found on a bugis keris

am i correct?

Simatua, you are right. It's more Sumatran than Bugis.
Imo, nothing Bugis about the blade and the hilt.

I agree with BluErf's opinion on the probable origin of the hilt.

The carving on the arm of the pekaka (armband) looks it is not 'typical Minang'. More Palembang influence I thought, but I have to agree with BluErf also.
