Origin of this hilt type
Hi all, attached are pictures of a hilt type in the kerdas form.
Where is this form found? Where does it originated from?  The hilt cup is not original to the piece, (just a decoration). Does anyone have information regarding this form, pictures of similar examples... Any help would be appreciated.

More pictures to help identify this hilt type.
 Based on the stocky size, I think it is a Penghulu (chieftain) type.

Marco,
An interesting thought and a good lead ... I'll check it out. Thanks. Battara, Yes... It does looks Bugis, thanks. Any idea which region it was used or originated from? Imho, the sheath, is a "chieftain" type, but the aesthetics are different. Alam Shah. |
