Hi Gio,
Thank you! From time to time I get offered nice items from Indonesia, so this two old betel crushers and the wooden Bali/Lombok handle. Two nice old taji ayam are in this parcel as well. Best regards, Detlef |

Horn does not make a very effective crushing tool, so I'd not opt for pestle.
The end looks rather like a truncated cone; it might fit into some sort of socketed apparatus, the nature of which I couldn't guess. |

We have had a thread special for this items, see here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ight=Taji+ayam Until now I don't know why it got closed, I would be glad to post them there, I have a third one before. Maybe the mods can open this thread again and I would be glad to show them there! I don't want to hijack this thread and I would be reluctant to start a new thread about taji ayam! Anyway, here two pic. of my three boxes. Best regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 24th August 2023 at 11:32 AM. |

Hello Detlef,
Thanks for the pictures. These are very nice boxes. Since I bought the book Kotak Taji by van Donk, I've been also looking for such a beautiful piece. Best regards Peter |

By me is the book on my wish list! Like Alan wrote in the given thread they are hard to come by and most of the time very expensive, sadly. Best regards, Detlef |
