Nicely carved Madurese hilt with Chinese Motif

[RSWORD]

I would appreciate thoughts and comments in regards to the motif that are on this Madurese hilt. The carving is quite good but what I find interesting are the strong Chinese motif. While this is probably not surprising given the number of Chinese throughout the archepelego I cannot recall an example of a Keris hilt with such motif. The first two pictures illustrate a nicely carved dragon with crown(?) on head with a bird attacking it or flying overhead. The dragon reminds me quite a bit of Chinese style dragon. There is also a picture of the base of the ukiran which is usually left uncarved but in this example it is carved with the swastika motif found in Buddhist art. The last picture illustrates nice "rope" motif not unlike what you might find on a Scottish dirk hilt but I have seen this motif in Malaysian work. I am wondering if this was simply made to order for a Chinese customer or perhaps Chinese carved to bring back to the mainland to sell as a curio.
