Kino, thanks
 Here's the continuation. Below are pics of Philippine gold hilts from the 10th to the 13th century. A little later, I'll post the comments of the southeast Asia expert from the Metropolitan Museum (NY) on these artifacts. Kindly note that one of the hilts show the bird beak/ elephant trunk motif. |

In the same book (Philippine Ancestral Gold), the artifacts from Java and Philippines were compared from time to time, like below.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (our central bank) has a few gold hilts as well, from the same era.

This was how they must have looked when carried.
