Another Newbie Question
I've been trying to learn as much as I can and lately hilts have been at the forefront. Here's one I haven't found a clear answer on. The hilt in the picture I believe is a Rakasa hilt and from what I've read is from Bali and East Java. Now, is this hilt more appropriate on a Bali Keris or could it go with this blade and dress?
Thanks, Dan |

first thought when I see the hilt is Bali in origin. Can we have a front view from the hilt? Regards, Detlef |

Look like Bhuta Nawasari, a Bali hilt.

So, is it inappropriate for that dress?
