Hello Dirk,
could be a hilt for a plococan, betel crusher. And yes, it is from some sort of bone or deer horn. Look like balinese or lombok origin. Regards, Detlef |

I am inclined to see this as a keris hilt mostly because it is made to accommodate a round tang and has a shape consistent with keris hilts. I do think it might be a fairly recent creation though that has been conditioned to look older.

a better photo of the discoloration on the bottom could give a clue if it was made by a mendak.
