Default WAYANG hilt

And this is probably the wayang hilt. Hopefully, to be older than Cirebon era. Or Pajajaran?

Beautiful Wayang hilt, Sajen. I think it is the best I've seen until today...
These are more pictures on other variant of "Buta hilt"...

Dear Sajen,
The one with Garuda Mungkur, of course. Not the craftmanship, but the originality. To see original old motifs, for me is more important than just seeing good craftmanship..

Ganja, ion post #28 Sajen posted 2 different hilts. I believe that they both have a Garuda Mungkur.

Default Meet the Twins!

Well i finally had some time to photograph my few examples. Meet the twins. These two guys are so alike i think the same carver may have done them. One is and old Mojo keris in a gayaman sheath. The other an old kebo lajer in a ladrang sheath.

Some very old hilts from Northern Java. It seems to me that some of the specimens shown originate from East Java/ Madura and Bali.
Best regards
