Willem, these are not hilts that were ever intended to be put on a keris. In Jawa there is a whole field of collecting of keris hilts that does not go anywhere near the actual keris. This is not new. PBX had numerous hilts of various designs carved for his personal collection, that were never intended for use on a keris.

Somebody created these little ladies as individual works of art, not for use on a keris, but for addition to a hilt collection.

I gave them shelter from the storm and made them mine.(Sorry Bob).
