Thank you again Pak Maisey,
I'm agree that northern coastal or Madura artistic touch is there, and much probably being the origin of the hilt in my opinion too.
Interesting questions that you suggest. Yes, I believe we cannot give exact answers to those, and guessing without sufficient evidence could bring us to misleading perception
, I get your point, that's very wise
. Please let us know when one day you come across with any informations about this style.
To Michael, I hope that someday you can find a reference or better explanation about your keris hilt. I do hope that this one is not the one created with no meaning except for its decorative looking, or carved following to the material demand
.
