Oh that's funny, i just realized that the first one i posted is the same as the one that Marco posted.

Well, at least now we know (or at least Marco does) where part of the collection ended up.

I like it a little better in the pics i posted (goes to show what good photography can do), but i still prefer the silver one for my own sensibilities.

And here's one more that i believe is gold over ebony.

Thanks David for nice pics. Yes i think the two ivory/gold hits are twins made by the same artist. (when i'll be in Bali again i'll try to know something more about.....if i try )
About the way (before or after)to put (or to work) the gold /silver over the hit ....
...i have a very very very old (nyamba?) hit with over a little piece of something like white gold (?). This hit could be very interesting for discussion..i'll try to do some pics soon

Marco, do you really think they are twins by the same artist. I am pretty sure they are the same exact hilt. The Noe Collection was sold off back in 1995 AFAIK and i am sure that parts of it are all over the place.

Hello David,

it seems to be the same hilt, look the crack in the forefinger of the right hand.

David i have seen better (sorry...i'm not young ... my brain sometimes goes in other places

) you are right! the hits are the same!! Mr. Noe had really very good eyes!

Here's one of mine that I forgot I had; its silver over buffalo horn.

The other one is from the Neka Musium in Bali. I was there a few months back. Very difficult to photograph things because of all the reflections and deep shadows but I did get a lot of pics of hilts and other bits and pieces. When I get a chance I'll make them all available in my site.

And here an example from dark wood with silver, some fast taken pictures.
