Hello Loedjoe,
it is a Jawa Deman hilt of unusual form, could be from Sumatra but could be as well from Sumbawa. I have seen hilts of similar form which was attributed to Sumbawa. Is it from wood? Regards, Detlef |

Hallo Detlef
Many thanks for your suggestions. Yes, it is wood, striped horizontally with dark and light bands, impossible to see in the photos. Best wishes, Loedjoe |

Hallo Detlef
Yes, the wood is very like your intersting hilt, but not as clear - the surface on mine is rather worn. Do you know what wood it is? Best wishes Loedjoe |

I don't have a clue but when it is really the same wood it most likely that both hilts are from the same area. Since I don't know exactly from where my hilt this isn't from great help.  Best regards, Detlef |

IMO these 2 Jawa demam hilts are quite different, the one from Sajen seems to originate from Sumatra and the primitive one from Loedjoe possibly from Sumbawa. I have one piece also in primitive JD style deemed to originate from Sumba or Sumbawa (see picture).
Best regards |
