Cool hilt!
It'd also say Bali...of maybe Lombok.

Oh yes Bali (or Lombak) for sure. The figure is a demon of some kind based on the fangs and finger nails.

Hello Marco,
Nice and uncommon specimen, is it old or artificially aged? I am not sure about the Balinese origin because of the size and absence of integrated selut.
Best regards
Jean

The patina said me old. I think far east Java... but of course not sure. The seller told me it comes from java.

Hello Marco,
If it is old I would say East Java tip (in front of Bali) also.
