I can't really tell where the hilt is from based on the pictures. It is not very familiar to me, though I'm inclined to say it is Sumatran, possibly from somewhere close to the Minang area.
Hi Blue,

Other than Sumatra, which part of the archipelago where this kind of wire works on buah pinang can be found? Certainly not in Peninsula because I never found one so far. Would it be SulSel?
