I finally have a Sunggingan

Seems like a nice keris with an uncommon pamor. The sunggingan looks nice. I am afraid i do not know exactly what the image depicts, but it is quite attractive. Seems to not be recent, but also not particularly old. Nice to see the "Rajamala" hilt crafted from horn as most of the ones i see in this planar style are wood and rather recent. It doesn't seem well fitted to the mendak though and i wonder if that can be adjusted. I do question whether this the character on these hilts is really meant to be Rajamala/Rojomolo, but since this profile is echoed in the army of figures on the right side of this sunggingan it seems like a a good match for this ensemble.
