All interesting stuff gentlemen, but just a reminder that this is a thread specifically dedicated to figural hilts.
Carry on... |

An array of figural hulu from an old Instagram post I made a few months ago... ever vigilant gazes of the ancestors.

Apparently (I found some other threads here talking about the Balinese variant of the Punakawan, this is Twalen or Tualen
"....Tualen (tualèn) or Malen is one of the punakawan figures (Balinese parěkan) in the wayang tradition in Bali. His character is similar to Semar in Javanese wayang. In the Balinese wayang tradition, Tualen is depicted as an old man with an ugly face, black skin, but behind his appearance, he has a noble heart, has good manners, knows manners and likes to give wise advice. In the Balinese wayang tradition in general, there are three sons, namely: Merdah, Delem and Sangut. The four of them (including Tualen) are clowns who are very well known among Balinese people....." |
