I see these have been discussed before http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=pedang
Can it be said that the more figural the carving the farther it is from Islamic references/influences, and vice-versa? If so could a sort of scale be developed to identify the specific elements within the hilt forms and ascertain their probable origin?
