Alexish, no apologies are necessary. It makes perfect sense for you to have posted this hilt here. It is, after all, created and presented as a keris hilt and is indeed perfectly on topic for discussion on this forum. However, this discussion did seem to become sidetracked with debate over the origins of the kastane hilt from which it is derived and specific of a culture well outside the keris cultures we generally discuss which i do believe is rather off-topic for out discussions here.
