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".
