Hello Vandoo,
nice handles. Most of the time they are mounted on keris panjang. Here two from my collection, both are from horn. Regards, Detlef |

Great idea for an interesting reference thread.
But maybe we should limit it to only tapak kuda? Here are mine. Michael |

Though these hilts are called tapak kuda in many parts of the keris world, the ultimate representation is probably a man with his head bowed. Some examples are clearer than others.
