Pics: New Madurese or Solonese Hilt?

[David]

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.
