salam to all,

Though this type of Palembang hilt doesnt really show its feminine nature, I still have to agree that it came from "gendheng permoni" hilt that Pak Ganja told us in another thread. Because the spread of Islam after Majapahit and Pajajaran were annexed by Demak and Cirebon/Tegal, in Jawanese speaking area we have the so-called nunggak semi, and in Sundanese speaking area, the rasaksa hilt is pretty much retained its original form with minor stylization.
