A BEAUTIFUL SET WITH 3 VERY WELL CARVED VARIATIONS. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE CARVING ON YOUR NEWEST ONE REMINDS ME OF CARVING DONE ON SOME SUMATRAN SWORD HANDLES. THE DESIGN ON THE BACK OF THE HANDLE IN YOUR SECOND PICTURE LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE A STYLIZED HUMAN SKULL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I don't think it is a skull but more a floral motif. Lik on the ivory hilts I posted some time ago. Best regards, Willem |

Here are 2 pages from Hands of time / Crafts of Aceh showing several motifs used in textile / silk weavings from Aceh.
