			Hello Detlef, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Sorry, I meant Jean and the hilt he posted above! ![]() We need to see the endgrain: i. e. the top of the head of Jean's hilt (or the chin area or even the base of the hilt if clean/polished enough). Easier to examine/see when actually handling a piece. A 10x magnifying glass (jeweller's loupe) does help a lot. Regards, Kai  |

			BTW, Gio, looks like a nicely carved hilt! Could you post more pics of this hilt (and preferably the whole keris) in a seperate thread, please? Thanks!
