Maybe Alan has an idea!?

The second hilt is a monster! I've commented on the complete keris before. I hope Alan can tell us something about this sort of keris, like I said in the other thread, I've seen similar keris before, I never had such a keris so I never had an interest to know more about these types.

Thank you, Detlef
Your hilts are very beautiful. Whether the inlays on your hilts are natural gemstones or glass?

I have two wooden hilts in my collection, they are much more abstract.

Thank you HC! I think that most of the stones are real stones.

One of your hilts is Bugis and the other one from Sumatra.
