			I recently bought a Kojuk Mrenges keris hilt, made in Madura Island and believed to be very old elephant ivory. I am very curious about his size. As far as I understand, there are basically 2 types of these Kojuk Mrenges keris hilts : one being much slimmer than the other. But the present one is even slimmer than the slim model. 
		
		
		
			Please have a look on the pictures figuring a "normal slim" model of Kojuk Mrenges and an other "much slimmer". The measures of the 2 pieces are : The "normal slim" one : length 9.5 cm, thickness of the piece without considering the base : 2.1 cm measures of the base : 2.4x2.4 cm The "much slimmer" one : length 8.9 cm, thickness of the piece without considering the base : 1.4 cm measures of the base : 2.0x1.7 cm So, as can be seen, there is a quite important difference on the thickness of the 2 pieces, 2.1 cm against 1.4 cm. Would it be possible that this keris hilt was made for a woman or for a child ? Otherwise, would it have an other explanation ? Thanks in advance in helping me to learn from the experts ... Best Wishes from Rio  |
