This is a typical Atjeh scabbard. floralmotifs due to Islam and still signs of their animistic background. |

Asomotif gave the answer. It is the most common hilt for a Sikim.
Your other Sikim with that faboulous hilt is something as Asomotif said in his comment something I haven't seen before either. In my opinion such a hilt is unusual and an exception. |

Very nice sikin aceh.. Especially when the hilt is of rhino horn, most I found have cracks or damage.

Great textbook example, Bill!

I haven't seen a peudeueng panjang hilt of rhino horn though (verified by examining the surface structure under magnification rather going by "fibrous" appearance which can also be seen with weathered horn from cattle like waterbuffalo!). Regards, Kai |
