OK---so my facetious remark was close to the truth?

What is the connection with the hilt, though?

Just that it's facial features; big bulging eyes with a headgear of sort, nose (or beak) and ultraman's type mouth... (might be imaginary, though).

Generally, still not much clue except that it's probably Riau, Sumatra.

Most likely a variant of the Bugis hilt form.
