Detlef, this one isn't mine, but mine is a dead ringer for it (though i think mine is carved a bit better than this). I will also photograph mine in the next few days and post it.
This one has been IDed as coming from Madura so i have assumed that mine is also and since it bares quite a lot of stylistic elements in common with yours i would hazard that yours is also of the same origin. There have been enclaves of Hindus living in Madura and figurative hilts are very common there despite the Islamic majority.
