Thank you David.
I have given serious consideration to continuing this discussion, there is more than a little content in some posts that should be clarified, however, this clarification cannot be provided in the absence of lengthy text dealing with matters that are so far off topic that they could not be justified.
As I have already stated, I am not yet in a position where I can put forward any defensible opinions in respect of the true character represented by this female hilt style.
The only thing of which I am relatively certain is that the term "Veiled Durga", or its equivalent in any language native to Indonesia, did not originate anywhere in either Jawa or Bali.
