Hi guys,
Sorry to abruptly come like this. The hilt was quite unusual, even though the "bangunan" looks Bugis enough to me. Is the Selayar island is only attributed for this kind of hilt? Or do they have different wronko and blade forms as well? |

Well, I reckon there must be a slight different from the typical Bugis keris. As for this case, the hilt. Or it is just simply because it was made there.
The same puzzling question that is similar to this case is about Karimun kerises. |

I think that not all Selayer hilts have this form since this is the only one I have seen until now. |

Oh pity me, I don't have that book.
Is it also mentioned in Jean Greffioz's book, bro Shahrial? |

Moshah, I've browse thru' Jean Greffioz's book.. unfortunately there is no example of a Selayar hilt (both badik and keris form). I'll post an example soon. (( Selayar keris hilt form )) 1st row, 1st from the right. Last edited by Alam Shah; 26th October 2009 at 04:58 PM. Reason: add link |

However I found that pak Majid's Selayar hilt is more twisted and bowed than of Detlef's. Why is that so? Any opinion? It was quite twisted and almost look like a Sumbawa hilt....(anyway the pix itself wasn't that clear... ) |
