Doubtful that the hilt is from 16C , but one never knows ..

This hilt seems almost a fusion of Balinese and N.Jawa styles; there seems to be no tumpal throne as I know it .
The decorative motifs seem N. Coast .

The surface the figure is sitting on is quite different also.
What does it represent ?

The Sea, the Firmament ?
