My avatar is a keris handle from Madura, a so called janggelan hilt. Frankly said I don't know the material. This handle have a great patina.

I guess the original is known to you.
The Sky Disc is one of the most important archaeological finds of the past century. The disk is attributed to a site near Nebra, Saxony-Anhalt in Germany, and associatively dated to c. 1600 BC. It has been associated with the Bronze Age Unetice culture. It displays the world's oldest known concrete depiction of astronomical phenomena. Its significance is reflected by its inclusion into the UNESCO's Memory of the World register in June 2013. More infos available here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebra_sky_disk |

And mine is the Makara, an auspicious little beast. It is on the hilt of an Indian kard I just got, with a wootz blade forged to display a Mohamed's Ladder/Kirk Narduban pattern.
