I would agree that this seems to be a village piece and probably about 50 years old (the peksi hole shows signs of wear and possibly repair). I have no clear idea about its origin but noticed an interesting detail: at the base of the right side (left on the picture), just above the tumpal motif, I can see a stylized leg, while on the other side it looks like a reversed curled foot or fish tail; this is similar to the decoration of the putrasatu hilts from East Java/ Madura (see typical specimen) so the hilt from Sajen may originate from this region. As an additional indication it would also be useful to know where it was found .

Here some additional pictures from the fresh oiled hilt. Special at the third picture is the black patination at the throat good visible. A patination like this you don't get in a few years.

 So I write in post #1 that you can see a stylized raksasa figure in it. BTW, I have had this hilt long time on a small Madura keris and it looked good.Regards, Detlef |
