I agree with Rick. Generally fangs designate a figure as a “demon” so I would be likely to place this one there.
We have had the discussion numerous times regarding the difficulty in making positive identification of Bali togogan hilts, especially newer ones since many contemporary carvers don’t necessarily stick to strick traditional patterns, but I am sure I have seen this particular naked demon child before in older hilts. So maybe we have hope for a reasonable ID with this one. Can’t say I know it yet though.
