What's your Avatar?

Haven't been to the mainboard for a while.

My avatar is a middle period tajong from Pattani/Kelantan, characterised by relative small size, modest crown and simpler carvings. The hilt has an old add-on janggut, which would suggest that this was an early form without janggut. Probably from a time when the tajong and coteng was still largely similar.

The hilt has an extensively-repaired buah pinang, which was sheared off diagonally a long long time ago. One of the shoulder also had material loss, and was patched. It's really one old survivor. Swasa accent added by me, to restore it back to glory.
