BIRD FORM KERIS HANDLES, SUMATRA

Sajen · 27th January 2011, 07:43 PM

The one from ivory (Fig. 38) is from the north of Java or Madura and the one direct on the right from this is from Madura too.
Most of the shown handles are from Lampung apart from the first one, I think from Aceh or Gayo.

Barry, i suspect that your last one here might not have been intended as a bird, but instead one of the long nosed wayang character. I have a similar example which i definitely do not interpret as a bird.

IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO BE SURE BUT I THINK YOU ARE CORRECT. I CERTIANLY SEE NO BIRD IN YOUR EXCELLENT EXAMPLE, THE ONE I POSTED HAS A LOT OF CARVED DESIGN ON THE FACE AND HEAD (FEATHERS OR HAIR)??
BUT BOTH SHURELY HAVE A BIG BEAK , I THINK I WILL NAME HIM CYRANO

DOES THE WAYANG CHARACTER HAVE QUALITIES LIKE CYRANO
