This is a rare find, a small ( about 13" long )aborigine coolamon from Australia. These were used as bowls and also as digging implements. This piece is well over 100 years old, appears to be carved without metal tools, and has been very well used. Please see the images. The patina is much richer in person than the images show.

This is a very fine ivory hilt from Malaysia. While it is similar in appearance to the much more common Bugis handles in this style ( often referred to a Garuda -- A Hindu bird deity ), there are subtle differences. Please compare it to my next listing which is a more recent piece from the Bugis people. Fine patina and wear, excellent condition 3 1/2".

The Suryakarta style of this type is probably the most common hilt found, most are made in the last 25 years. This is a Yogyakarta court variation ( no "nose" ) that is much harder to find, and it is at least 100 years old. Finely carved, fantastic wear and patina from decades of use. Excellene condition, 3", wood.
