Hello Marco,

Thank you for your help.
There is a hilt that you posted earlier that looks similar with mine. In reply 58, picture number 4. Maybe it comes from same region.

Here my example, sadly with carved away crown/bun.

Hello Detlef,

Thank you for your explanation. Yes, both of the hilts look similar. I have another hilts that maybe from East Java, too. Quite unique to me, one of the hand holds a mask/ head. The other hand holds a blade.

I am just focusing at Javanese tosan aji right now, so I don't know about other region's hilt. But your collection is very nice

Here is my unknown silver hilt, very detailed and made of a massive piece of silver, could be a kind of Cocetan. Maybe someone knows more.

No better pics, sorry.


Best wishes,
Roland

Hello Roland,

I am curious about what figural in your hilt.
Is that hilt ressemble a dragon?



One of my Madura hilt collection for patrem (maybe Donoriko?). Also a hilt from West Java style. A friend of mine told me it is called Ganesha.


Best regards,

Joe
