Hello Jean,
thank you. ![]() I doubt that the handle is from East Java, Gustav and Chandra may be correct with the Cirebon origin. And you are correct, the selut is recent. Hello Gustav, thank you for the hint to the Cirebon origin. I am very unsure about the used material. But the material isn't porous but chinky. And have a look to the last two pictures in down of the carved area, it look a little bit like burned plastic, maybe a sign for horn. ![]() Hello Chandra, thank you as well. You give the second vote for Cirebon. Like written in up, I am very unsure about the material. The colour is like akar bahar or like reddish horn but could be wood as well. Regards, Detlef |

Very old buffalo horn may look dry/lost of luster and show small cracks like this so if its unlike wood it may be buffalo horn, akar bahar is not likely as pointed out by Gustav.

I've got quite a few planar hilts that I'd like to post to this thread, but at the moment I don't have time to do the pics.
Here is one that I do already have an image of. New, sawo, cecekan krawangan, dikruwing. |

Hello Marco, thank you very much for showing this example, the carvings in up resembles indeed the carvings of my hilt at the same area. Regards, Detlef |
