Hi,
IMO the whiter area on one side of your hilt is not because somebody sanded it to check if it was ivory but because the protruding "ear" was broken so he had to file it to make it smooth. The same happened on the other side of the "head" but earlier so the repair is not visible. You can clearly see the "ears" on the hilt posted by David.
Regards

Another style of madurese hilt called topi (helmet) or pulasir (cuirassier).

Nice collection of this style hilt Jean. Seems that Madura was more influenced by European iconography than any other area of Indonesia.
