Maybe it would be better for the carver to carve Raja Mala hilts rather than the tajong.

Hi Semar,
Thanks. I asked because your purchases seem to predominantly come from Indonesia. This hilt is not a real tajong, most likely made in Indonesia. |

Hi Semar,
I've seen quite a number of 'Tajong' hilts coming from various parts of Indonesia, I do agree that this looks like one. The general aesthetics of the shape, carving techniques and embellishment are not of Peninsular style, imho.. |
