Default Hilt Identification

Here is a photo of a dagger hilt.

It is from Indonesia, & when I acquired it, it had a label attached by a previous owner that gave date & place of acquisition, I have not included the complete dagger because I do not want to influence anybody's opinion.

This question is directed only at the hilt shown.

Over the years I have had opinions from a number of people in respect of place of origin of this hilt, & I have my own opinion that has been formed from pictures seen in books.

Perhaps a total of 8 or 10 opinions in all --- people & books.

All these opinions vary to a greater or lesser degree.

Does anybody have a confident opinion on place of origin of this hilt?
