A kerdas Bugis hilt, maybe from Sulawesi, maybe from Sumbawa, could be also from Peninsula IMHO.

Is it from wood or horn?

[mykeris]

its from wood...a very old carving. what is most interesting is the 'wattles"motif on top of the head, no found in ordinary kerdas hilts. :)

By this I have written that it could be also from Sumbawa, when I remember correct I have seen a similar hilt before which was attributed to Sumbawa. ;)
