Hi Marco,

An interesting hilt it is.. can you post a picture from the back, please? Like to see it in full to get a feel of it. Thanks.

The layer of alloy looks casted, probably with an inner core of a softer material. I wouldn't rule out tar-like material like damar, etc.

Does look Cirebonese.. but I'll check with some friends from the Bugis clan.
