Metal Cirebon (??) hilt

Hello Marco,
What is the materials, cast brass or bronze, or just brass/ bronze sheet on resin or wood base? I have no clear opinion about the possible origin but would agree that it does seem to be from Northern Java according to the style of decoration but also not from Sumbawa, may be a member from Lombok or Sumbawa could comment? If the piece is cast, a Batak origin looks feasible, or may be Banjarmasin? A rare and interesting piece anyway!
Best regards
Jean
