Hello Kulino,

I think the function is like the name said, "jimat" (talisman)!

Best regards,

Default Jimat as talisman

Hi Detlef,
I agree, but there are so many jimat around, in the shape of tosan aji. In fact, in a way they all are jimat. This specific jimat type could refer, as stated somewhere in one of the other strings, to the face of Semar. Could they have a connection to wedung? Were they just for the common people? Is there, as suggested to me, have a specific field, just as the kudi? I was told that the holes in the kudi indicate the reach of it's power. Do all these sajen, jimat and kudi have something in common? At least they do by looking at the way the wesi was used.

Default Temuktik

Could there be a relation (looking at the shape) between temuktik and kudi? or is this simularity just pure by chance?

Default Stopping

Dear all,
As it seems there's limited interest for this string. I'll stop posting for now.

I'm sure posting this much gets a bit tiresome; but please, take a break if you wish but do continue.

Default second batch from this box

This is the last box of the kudi and jimat groupe. All in all, jimat and kudi are worth to study but hard to get a grip on.
I'm curious if there is anyone out there who has involved him/herself into this matter.
