Sorry Gave, I missed your response .
That is a keris handle; I suspect that your pommel may be a recycled part of the same item .

Thanks Rick. The freaky face is custom, not modified Keris. The human hair topknot is a nice touch to add to the freaky
I suspect it is from the same region and workshop as that seen on page 94 of Zonneveld and likely the same age.

How about a picture of the whole thing .
