Pics: New Madurese or Solonese Hilt?

Thanks for posting this example. That is exactly the type of hilt that came to mind when Marco made mention of new styles of Madurese hilt making.
IMO it is a nice example of modern keris art and as Alan stated in the other thread there are some folks who just collect hilts. I can certainly see it in such a collection, but i don't think i would personally put it on one of my keris.
