It isn't a keris hilt, even if perhaps used as such at some time.

So, this is a different field (Burma, Siam), and no idea about rarity/value of this hilt in that context.

Of course the gangya is separate.

A good blade. I have a cousin of it, or perhaps maybe even brother.

Alan, just sow your expanded post.
Yes exactly. And the Kecak being an invention of 30ties, and Barong dance in the form as it existed in the 30ties being likely not much older then around 1850.

Thomas, the dress is post 30ties, and very likely from 70ties or later, except perhaps the ivory Atasan. The ornamentation on Pendok is not the most typical Balinese work

Hilt most likely is a mixture of Damar, wax and ground terracotta, which was used to fill the typical embossed hilt made of metal sheet. This metal sheet is gone, filling is left.
