Default unknown hilt

Hi,
this one i caught some years ago and i am nearly sure that this is no hilt for a keris.
But what for is t and where does it come from ?
It seems to be made from bone not from ivory.

best regards
Dirk

Hello Dirk,

could be a hilt for a plococan, betel crusher. And yes, it is from some sort of bone or deer horn. Look like balinese or lombok origin.

Regards,

Detlef
