To me this is a rather attractive hilt, but i can't say that i am fully convinced it is a female character. I mean, it could be, but i cannot see in any of you photos any specific anatomy that could be identified as specifically female. That is not to say that it could not be a female figure, just that i don't find it obviously so.
I would agree with Alan that by the carving style this appears to be Madurese in origin. It isn't a brand new carving for sure, but i suspect it is 20th century.
Of course, better photos would be helpful. You should try photographing it in more even, natural light, such as what is available on a bright, but overcast day. But it does appear to be a well carved and attractive figure. But even if we had better photos i am not convinced it would be possible to identify it as a specific character.
Interesting mendhak it has. it appears to be bone of some type.
