Nice waterbuffalo hilt in plain style, Detlef!

Based on the type of crosspiece also being found in blades limited to central highlands near the Sumatran western coast, I'd suggest the same origin. This type of sewar seems quite common and I believe it might be fairly widely distributed across this region (possibly not limited to the Minang groups).

Regards,
Kai
