Hi Greg,
I am short by time right now since I need to work now. But I have to correct my further post and have to agree now with Kai after I've seen your new pictures. There are clearly visible a line of black dots in a line so the handle material is indeed from hippo ivory.
Don't worry about your title, I only want to state that Ambon don't has had an own keris culture.
Best regards,
Detlef
