From the small amount of the hilt I can see, my guess is that we're looking at makassar ebony, this is a very popular wood used for carving in Bali.[/QUOTE]
IMHO, MAKASSAR EBONY is also know as COROMANDEL or: DIOSPYROS-CELEBICA Like Mr.Maisey already mentioned, many woodcarving from Bali are of this type of wood. |
