Symbolism on Madura hilts?
 
4 Attachment(s)
I read a nice thread here on madura hilts.
I was wondering if there is more info around or knowledge from members of the forum on the symbolism of these hilts?

I have read also a bit in D. van Duuren's Kris booklet and in Greffioz book.

I'll ad here some pictures of a hilt in my collection that has almost all standard examples.

Kojuk mrenges hilt in bone or ivory with

Sides:
Military Epaulets on both sides (does this make it a landhian pulasir?)
Beneath that Kuda Panoleh on one side
Winged dragon on the other side
Masks and birds on the bottom of the hilt
On the top also a few dragons

Front:
Crown
Theather style drapings
Mask? inside this?
