Sorry but I don't have other pics. The hole is round and perfect for a keris.
Of course is a naga (maybe a croccodile

)

Indeed Cirebon hilts sometime comes is 'unusual' form. I can be certain it is intended for keris looking at the rounded base even though I've seen those which more appropriate for sword ie. oval end. Thanks for sharing Marco.
