I know very little about cotengs, I know a little bit about North Jawa.
In my opinion this is not a hilt from Cirebon, nor from the Pesisir in general.
Workmanship looks fairly crude.
I feel that it has been carved from a light, rather soft wood and stained or lacquered, in which case we might be looking at something from the 1970's-1990's.
I have no idea at all where it might be from.
