Default Beautiful Bali Keris Hilt

Hi, all

I saw some Bali Keris Hilt in the US (not mine), them are said to be more than 100 or even 300 hundred years old.I think they are very unique and pretty. How do you think ?

Typical Balinese togogan hilts, I cannot form an accurate opinion on age or quality from a photo.

I agree with Alan that i cannot approximate an age on these hilts, but from what i can see i would say that they are not recent. But 300 years seems unlikely. These most probably range from mid 19th to mid 20th century.
