So now this hilt is attributed to the late 15th cent. So even somebody like John Miksic (?) changes his opinions.

See also the

There, among other fascinating objects, is also a part of a Gowa/Makassar type Mendak/Selut, which still has the "initial" attribution "1000-1400".

Maybe the time is close to update also that one?

Nevertheless, I would be very interested in indicators, which make possible the attribution of this very interesting hilt to Majapahit periode.
