BIRD FORM KERIS HANDLES, SUMATRA

VANDOO · 27th January 2011, 06:36 PM

I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO INCLUDE ONLY BIRD FORM KERIS HANDLES FROM SUMATRA. I HAVE EXCLUDED THOSE OF THE KINGFISHER FORM AS MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY ARE FROM MALAYSIA. I HAVE SEEN THEM REFERRED TO AS GARUDA HILTS, WOODPECKER (GAYO), AND HUMMINGBIRD. THERE SEEMS TO BE A WIDE VARIETY OF FORMS THE ONES I CONCENTRATED ON HERE WERE THOSE WITH LONG BEAKS. THERE ARE A LOT OF SHORT BEAKED FORMS BUT I AM NOT SURE THEY ARE FROM SUMATRA. THERE IS A FORM IDENTIFIED AS BUGIS FROM SULUWEZI THAT CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE OTHERS SO IS INCLUDED 3RD FROM BOTTOM. FEEL FREE TO REMOVE ANY OR IDENTIFY ANY EXAMPLES NOT FROM SUMATRA AND TO ADD PICTURES AND COMMENTS. THE FIRST ONE WAS IDENTIFIED AS WOODPECKER. TWO EXAMPLES HAVE A LIZZARD ON THE HEAD WHAT DOES THAT REPRESENT? I CROPPED AND REMOVED THE MADURA HANDLE.

The one from ivory (Fig. 38) is from the north of Java or Madura and the one direct on the right from this is from Madura too.
Most of the shown handles are from Lampung apart from the first one, I think from Aceh or Gayo.

Regards,

Detlef
