Thanks Athanase. Your hilt surely looks like the one I posted. Guess this type is very widespread throughout the archipelago.

I would second Alan's suggestion that the hilt on Athanase's keris is probably a Lombak form of the planar hilt. It has distinct differences from the hilts shown in both posts #6 & #7 which are definitely not Lombok.
