HELLO THIS GOLOK IT'S ARRIVED TODAY. IT'S IN POOR CONDITIONS , BUT I THINK THAT WITH SOME RESTORATIONS IT COULD BE A VERY NICE ITEM (ALSO FOR THE LOW PRICE
![]() THE HILT IS VERY NICE BUT THE EAGLE, IN ITS LIFE, HAS LOST AN EYE, THAT WAS MADE OF IVORY. I CAN SUPPLY TO GIVE HER ANOTHER WORKING A SMALL PIECE OF IVORY. THE CLIP, THAT NEEDS TO HANG THE SCABBARD TO THE BELT IS GONE: CAN SOMEONE POST SOME DETAILED PICTURES OF THIS PIECE FROM OTHERS GOLOK SO THAT I CAN MADE BY MYSELF ANOTHER? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP, I WILL POST OTHER PICTURES AT THE END OF THE PROJECT. |

The highly Europeanized treatment of the eagle is interesting to me. Is this Javanese?
Nice project; good luck. |

Looks like you have something to do this weekend
![]() Your eagle looks a bit like a parrot. But probably its another Garuda variation. I had a bird with an eye missing as well, but I can't find it back, probably the birds gone. ![]() |

When I was trying to catch the bird I broke my neck over the following sheath.
It might be the clip your looking for. Connectiontype is the same as your sheath foot (bone or ivory nail) and the clip is made of horn as well. From what I noticed it would fit in the retangular space left in the wood of your scabbard. On top of that this sheath had a similar carved decor as yours. Lets hope this helps a bit (I hope pics are clear, was a bit dark already) |

OK, I THINK THAT MY WORK IS ENDED AN THIS IS THE RESULT. WHAT DO YOU THINK? AT THE END I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE CLIP FOR THE BELT, BECAUSE, AS I HAVE ALREADY SAID, I HAVEN'T FOUND A PIECE OF HORN, AND THE RESULT WITH A PIECE OF WOOD IT HASN'T SEEMED GOOD TO ME, AND SO I HAVE LEFT THE SCABBARD AS IT IS. ANYWAY THE SCABBARD IS NOW VERY SOLID AND BEAUTIFUL IMO (BUT MY OPINION IS NOT IMPARTIAL
![]() ![]() SORRY FOR THE TABLE CLOTH USED LIKE BACKGROUND. I KNOW, IT' S TERRIBLE ![]() ![]() |

Nicely done, very sympathetic, working with the damage and accepting limits.

Well done and very quick as well
![]() The bone parts look like they still could use a bit shoepolish (also helps to keep the pieces in shape). I'm sure you find a solution for your clip, just keep the pictures and who knows. |
