I'll leave a definitive argument to the experts, but I'm pretty sure these are all from Bali and all fairly recent.
Thanks, Leif |

All Bali style.
Can I have a look at the back of the top hilt please? He's probably Nawa Sari, but I need to see the back to be certain. I cannot identify the other two. |

Hi, here is the back side of the first hilt. If it is Nawa Sari, can you tell me more about who that is?
Do you know more about the names of the face less figures on the other two hilts? One is covered by long hair and the other is like an abstract faceless figure. Thank you! Quote:

I agree with Alan that the top one is most probably Nawa Sari. I assume Alan wants to see the grain sheaf in the hand behind the back, but everything else about this hilt fits the commonly encountered design for Nawa Sari.
The hilt with the hair over the face probably doesn't represent a single figure, but i seem to recall story of leyak or ghosts that are know to appear in this form, so that is the direction i would investigate with that. No idea on the really abstract one, but i do find it to be really cool. ![]() ![]() |

Yep, Nawa Sari.
For a long time, a lot of people believed that Nawa Sari had nine heads of rice in his hand (nawa = nine) in fact he has a pandanus flower in his hand. There was Forum discussion of this not all that long ago. See:- http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ight=nawa+sari |
