The Tridacna hilt, although not well-carved, is still a nice example. The carving style seems Sumatran, with the simple tumpal incision at the base of the hilt and other features. I reckon the limited supply of this rare hilt material, determined the existing shape. If you ever get bored with this hilt, pm me. I'll give it a new home..

Hello Alam, the hilt have been the reason why I bought this keris. I also think that it is from Sumatra.
Be sure, when I decide to sell it you will be the first who know it!
