This is a great addition to the discussion!! Again I am only making a hypothesis that the hilt form could be a representation of Garuda… but the hilts you’ve brought forward definitely add interesting possibilities. As a reminder the Garuda symbolism travels through SE Asia in different forms and the merging of imagery specifically in the Southern Philippines area is well documented. The question becomes more interesting the further we dig… and that’s what is compelling for me personally. Please let me know when you are able to put eyes on your newest example so we can really dig into its forms and symbols!! SS |

It is still a few weeks away... will share more when in hand. With regards to the Coteng "wing" reference made earlier, this is what I mean, seen in the images. Perhaps one of our Thai readers can offer the translation? A Tajong drawing showing the same area, which is a large carved panel on the Tajong. The last image, similar side panels are found on this Jambi Penghulu... apologies for the orientation of the image, just how it uploaded... Gavin Last edited by Ian; 25th March 2023 at 12:32 PM.
