Cirebon hilts have several varieties in form. Older hilts -- influenced by their ancestor of Hindhu Pajajaran Kingdom -- with figural hilts of raksasa or buta bajang motifs, wayang, and ganesha motifs. And and the younger Cirebon/Tegal hilts in ornamental form.

These are examples of Cirebon and the neighboring city of Tegal ornamental hilts..
