Hi Detlef,
that's great, thank you.

Does the type of wood, Kemuning have any significance or spiritual 'power' ? What does the design of the Sumartran hilt represent ?

Kind Regards David

Hi David,

don't think that the kemuning wood have any signifiance or spiritual power, it is a nice and good expensive wood, that's "all" IMHO.

This hilts are called kerdas, some people believe that it shall present garuda but this I would take personally with a pinch of salt.
