The complete composition of the hilt, with medium size keris and javanese "sandhang walikat" (informal) type of warangka, made of "mangga hutan" (forest mango tree) wood...

Yes, but I think David is right too -- the hilt is not well executed. Not good quality of carving. And I don't think this "lion" model is not a "serious model". I mean, not a standard model for traditional Maduran keris... A touristique model, but funny and cute -- especially the lion

Just to qualify my earlier statement, yes, i think these were made for Dutch soldiers, but i really like them when they are well executed. They my be the first "tourist" keris, but i would still like to add a nice one to my collection sometime as i feel this is an important part of keris history and the history of Madura.

Another Maduran "tourist" warangka and hilt... You may regard the "dutch face with moustache" on one side of the hilt...

In the second picture ?

It looks more like a Lion to me; see the paws extended ?
Very Dutch whiskers though .

Yes, looks like a lion with human face. Note the two pad in down from the face.
