Personally I would attribute this odd sheath & hilt to Madura and well post WW2. I was told by a expert seller/ collector from Surabaya (to be verified) that this particular style of Ganesha hilt originates from East Java and not Cirebon/ Northern Coast and is locally called Ganesha Kembang, see the attached specimen made from kemuning.
