Hi Marco,
An interesting hilt it is.. can you post a picture from the back, please? Like to see it in full to get a feel of it. Thanks.  The layer of alloy looks casted, probably with an inner core of a softer material. I wouldn't rule out tar-like material like damar, etc. Does look Cirebonese.. but I'll check with some friends from the Bugis clan. |

Hi Alam
I put the pics (inside the hole there is, from smell, a sort of bitumen... probably to hold well the pesi) Marco |

very interesting hilt but I have no evidence from where this hilt may be. Regards, Detlef |
