Hello Joe,

this could be a hilt from Cirebon or from the North-East coast of Java. Like you said byself, a very unique handle and very nice.

Thanks for the picture.

My hilt got the same dimensions as your example and weighs ~235 grams. I believe it is partially casted (hollow casted) and carved/grinded. The flames around the nose and other details has been added later in the process. Not more than a guess.
