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

The limit to tapak kuda is a very good idea.
BTW, the first four handles from you are very nice!

Ups, now the order is different at soon! I mean the carved ones.

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.

Interesting observation. Yes, I see it especially in this example you referred to.

Michael's last panjang is a N. Malay panjang with a nice hilt. I have a similar one.

These last offerings are not tapak kuda form...

Thanks Kai Wee, that is very nice. Should come and 'audit' your private arsenal some day

The first pic posted by kulbuntet s totally of different form. It's not the typical tapak kuda form, probably this form is from Indragiri Riau?
