			I believe that some people will say that it is a gana hilt but in my opinion it is just a hilt made from a piece of deer horn and the further owner of the keris just use the natural form for a hilt. Others may have other opinions. Nice hilt BTW.

			Looks like an under-developed antler. Very cool and I love the way it's been used here. It performs wonderfully as a keris handle!
