What do the holes mean??

Just for reference, pictures of few kudi/kujang in my collection with 3 and 5 holes. I am not claiming that they date from the Pajajaran period....

Here are a couple of archaics, both excavated, and both considerably more substantial than the talismanic ones we usually see.

Hey Jean, i love that last one with the head and the spiral at the base. I only count 4 holes on your second example, 3 eroded through and a 4th complete hole. Where do you count the 5th one?

Hey David,
You are right, the second example has only 4 holes, only the "initiated" can see the fifth one,

! I also like the 3rd one with the naga head.
