Madura handle
2 Attachment(s)
A recent finding this ivory JANGGELAN handle from Madura. There are a few flaws like the faceless head in the foliage and a few missing chips but overall in excellent condition. Is anybody able to give a clue about the Arab text?

Very nice handle! It's my favorite Madura handle, look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ight=janggelan
Sorry, can't help by the translation. :shrug: Best regards, Detlef |
Although I can't translate, I think it is Qu'ranic verse - I see the word "Allah" in the middle of it.
What material is this? |
Hello Klungkung,
I have posted the picture of the script in the main forum since I think that the possibility will be better there to get an answer. Regards, Detlef |

Thanks for the interesting tread and bringing it to the attention of more members.
The material is as quoted from ivory, possibly 'gading' so elephant. The cracks may indicate it. |

I think that the handle material is whale tooth, see the link I have given in up, three of my handle seems to be from the same material! Regards, Detlef |
