Three silver hilts from Bali (Bayu, Hanuman, Nawasari).

Thanks Jean. I love these silver Bali hilts.
Here are my meager offerings, some old, some contemporary, from Jawa, Bali and Madura. |

Thank you David, I love especially your ivory piece with the bird head.
Attached are 3 rather small and peculiar ivory hilts said to originate from the Balinese community in Sumbawa but I can't guarantee it, any opinion? Regards |
Thanks Jean, though i'm pretty sure that's bone, probably from the latter side of the 20th Century. I found another quite similar one on the net that claimed itself as 1950s Madura, but who knows. Never quite been sure exactly where this one hails from, though it came on an old Jawa blade. :shrug:

OK.
Beautiful, beautiful. But beautiful is easy to do. Now I'm gonna make you all really envious. Who has anything as ugly as these? |

Marco, we are doing "figural" hilts...i see a few in amongst you collection shots, but not very clearly. Maybe you could do a group shot of just the figural ones to give us a better look. :)

Yeah, they're glass.
Modern made in a little town near Pare in East Jawa --- I forget the name of it, its peculiar sort of name --- but the technique is an old, legitimate technique. The beads made in the same way go back to before Majapahit, often used as burial goods, and the genuine Majapahit pelangi beads, some of which are quite big, are pretty valuable. I'm sorry I didn't come up your standard of ugliness David, I did try. I'll have a look and see if I might have something uglier, but I don't think I do. Yeah, the ET one is peculiar, I can't ID what it is supposed to be or where its from, and it really does look ETish |

his thread seems to have gone very quiet, which I find strange, because I'm sure there are a lot more figural hilts out there than we have already seen posted.
Here are a few more, hopefully somebody else might add a few more. |

Also I did the gold mounts myself (hope they are not too aweful.... :o ) |
