Definitely an ukiran.
You cann't find all ukirans in books. Books are limited in showing ukiran. The fantasy of carvers not. |

The general aspect of the hilt could bring to a betel crusher's hilt, but these have a somewhat square and smaller peg hole. This peg hole is no doubt that of a kris. Could be that a betel crusher's hilt has been adapted to fit a kris tang, widening the hole.
I happened to see betel crushers with kris hilt (planar type): the contrary cannot be excluded. |

Hilt Tool
Hi GIO,
Yes every thing is possible. BTW I got an example of a figural tool hilt in my collection as well. Here it is. It came with the hilt we have discussed allready. |
