Ganja,

I think the hilt might be from Sumbawa, not Sumba.
AFAIK on Sumba there never was any local keris culture and production.
But Sumbawa (Bima) has had both Bugis and Lombok connections keriswise.

Hi Michael,
Sorry for being late to response your post. Exactly you are right. It might be Sumbawa and not Sumba. Thanks for the correction...
