Hi, I would like to know more about this keris handle.

I've looked up in many keris book, but could not find an exact match. Any ideas?

Hi Alam shah,

I dont know much of this stuff, but i had seen a quite similar keris hilt in a Malaysian book. Raja Muda may remember the title of the book. Theres also one in (i think) Van Duuren's latest book. Perhaps other foroumite have any ideas?

Looks like the handle on a keris sajen, aka keris majapajit?

The picture Pak Rasdan has is from a book on keris published by the Malaysian Handicrafts Development board. I think I have one too. Well, it's stated there as Keris Majapahit, though the details on the hilt is far more elaborate than the ones you see on other Keris Sajen. What we need now is for a Javanese to help lah!
