hello aso,

the double spiral is pretty common in asia but also outside. when it is seen on a indonesian item and especially in silver my first guess is timor region. There are numerous different styles in that region but very very often with this type of spiral. Unfortunatly i dont have any references for this piece from books. good luck!

greetingd Ron
