Archeological Finding

Hello Kai,

I am not sure if there was a blade found or remnants of a pesi in the hilt. I guess it was found like in the first picture.

When you mentioned Acheh, it rings a bell in my mind. I think in Kris Disk there's a non javanese keris with an ivory hilt that looks like a Jogja hilt. I didn't found the picture but I found the one below. Thanks for pointing it out Kai.

Hello Rasdan,

Yes, that's another example of these bawar hilts.

Here are the Aceh gift keris from the northern Sumatran highlands:
hilt silver
cup suasa/rubies

Regards,
Kai

Thanks Kai, keris you posted above is the one that I meant. Now I know that this combination is not an oddity.
