The ferrules of hilt are silver, baca-baca looks like copper. most interesting is the cord attached to the hilt. I only once have seen very similar one in this thread, post#50:

Is there some newer information about these cords? As I understand, Cato says they could be Anting-Anting like Munsala or designed to tie the kris to the hand.
