I think woven was the word you were looking for A.G.
This is woven using very fine wire?

It uses narrow and very thin strips of silver (or gold or brass) I think, as for this gerantim hilt also made by a Lombok master craftsman.

Thanks Rick. Finally, yes; woven is the right word. fine wire..........

Very nice work Anthony, though i have generally seen this woven wire work (nice alliteration there

) done only on hilts like the one Jean shows and not on pendok. Still, very well done though. The wood on this sarong is also lovely.

Thank you, David. The wood is burl wood and the hilt design is totally left to my good friend to come up with the concept and idea, a bit not traditional thou. I try not to sway too far away from tradition, design maybe can stick to old but for material, i try to experience using new type of material such as burl wood for handle, warangka etc.

To be honest, i cannot say i am particularly found of the hilt design you chose, but this is, of course, all a matter of personal taste. It all appears to be nicely done.
Is all the metal work gold, or gold-plate or something else?
