YS, is that a crown or a crab claw hair style?

Hi Alan,

I guess it is sort of hair ornament like in wayang?

Yes Yohan, that's what I was looking for, but what i think I can see in your hilt is still unclear to me, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. I expected to see either a distinct crown or a distinct "crab claw" type noble hair style, in the hilt I'm not sure if it is supposed to be one or the other.

However, if it is a crown, the hilt is Prabhu style, if it is a hairstyle we need to match it to a wayang hair style --- maybe the "crab claw" & then look for other attributes that might permit us to affix a name, say, FX, Arjuna.
