It is ivory. And almost half or 3/4 size compared to a normal Palembang hilt. But "balu mekabun" is not the real Palembang name, is it? (I know this word, in one recent interesting thread on hilts in this forum, in the beginning of this year...)

A balinese term for a hilt which "represents an abstract human figure" (mentioned by Guwaya in that interesting thread...)

But I don't think this term is used (or was used) by Palembang people... durga hilt. So what is the Palembang term for it?
