Here is an old Sumatran keris where the hilt is more twisted than usual, reminding me about the Malay Peninsular Anak Ayam Sejuk.
As you can see this carver never heard about the explanation that the face of the Javanese with fever is below the tanjak-headdress, to recap an old discussion. What do you think? Michael |

Sorry if I was a bit unclear.
The Anak Ayam Sejuk hilt is aka the Pipit Teleng (picture below). The tanjak is a head-dress. Here is the old discussion I was referring to http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001449.html Michael |

![]() ![]() I am afraid the whole keris is a nice one ![]() The hilt is in a pretty upright position indeed. And the arm wrapped around the body. Very nice hilt, but indeed a bit odd for a Jawa deman style. ![]() If you want to part with it, just send me a PM ![]() ![]() ![]() |

maybe this hilt can be called hulu nem neman, carved by an artist with a free mind, thus not restricted to pakem hulu. Just a thought....

Maybe "nem neman".
But was there a fixed pakem for non-Javanese hilts? Michael |
