BALI KERIS HILT IDENTIFICATION
Dear Forumites,
I recently bought this balinese keris hilt. Brass with glass inlays and some item that is missing from his hand. Can you help me, who is it and what is missing from his hand ? Any idea on age would be nice too. |

Arjan,
This figure, Bahu, is holding a leave shaped fan in his hand. On the fan is a small stone. Look at this one. |
