Hi all,

I recently saw this item in the window of an antique shop here in town. The figure's right hand is positioned to grasp something. I would love it to be a keris holder, but the space in the hand seems too small to hold the sarung. Also, I'm not sure the style fits that culture. I'm also very likely wrong.

So, seemingly intended to hold something with a diameter of about 1 1/2", what would make sense?

Thanks!
