I just got this silver hulu and it was made in year 2000. I saw similar hulu on Balinese and Bugis keris. And can anyone advices me what exactly is the icon of this hulu represents? A Deity? A warrior?

I would love to see more pictures from different angles Anthony; I can't see anything beside the tumpal motif for sure. The rest of it makes my brain hurt trying to put the features all together.
Is it a natural shape clad in silver? My first impression was that it is a piece of Akar Bahar. ![]() |

Okay, I see it now; I think your informant is correct in his interpretation. The silver work is quite nice! Thanks for the extra pictures Anthony.

Possibly he is humble Anthony. Is this figure covered entirely in silver? It reminds me of a Gana hilt.
