Hi mykeris,
The handle, looks like a makara styled hilt, normally reserved for parangs and badeks. It's in another form.. a mixture of known animals including having claws, a crocodile's body, the trunk of an elephant, scales and a large jaw (often potrayed devouring the naga). attached: an example on the entrance balustrades lining the entrance on the steps to a temple building.. |

I'm with Alam Shah on this one, makara style. More commonly seen on other weapons in my limited experience .

Thanks Alam, DrDavid. In this case, could it have some links to the Langkasuka hilt form?

It looks like a bird to me, with a crest.
