A very rare piece!
I have seen only a few of the Garuda-hilted kris and they have had the Garuda made in bone or ivory. Those seems to originally have been Sumatran keris hilt's but yours seems to be made for this kris. Some good reference pictures of this hilt variation are found in Sejr Jensen's Kris disk, the Borneo chapter. Michael |

Nice lines Charles. Very much like the way the angles of the blade grinding look like they continue into Garuda.
