Are you sure this is a Kris hilt?
I think that this may be a the hilt ( or rather the handle) of a Betelnut chisel or cutter they are generally more ornate and have often this truncated cone shape these were sold (terminated auction, therefore allowed) and in my view are similar |

I am in agreement with Milandro. More likely a Betel Nut tool.

No, I'm sorry HughChen, but a keris hilt & a pelecok are two entirely different things & they do not share hilts. The pelecok is a tool, the keris is a socio-religious icon & a weapon.
There can be no doubt about this. |

I'm not sure what in Detlef's link gave you that impression. IMO this horn figural hilt is indeed a keris hilt.

Oh, my bad actually. I completely missed the small photo at the top of the page.
Frankly i'm not sure what that is a hilt for, but yes, the ferrule on that hilt would be unusual for a Balinese keris hilt. |
