Hello,

Here is a sketch of a Hulu Dandan style hilt found on rencong in Sumatra. It is fairly rare. I think it may be a good match for your item. The Hulu Dandan was a high prestige hilt and this corresponds well with the triple crowns on your example.

This sketch is one I found on an Indonesian website years ago. That link no longer seems to be working.

Best,

Dave A.
