Hello David,

I don't think there is any relationship between these designs (aside from that oval hilts allow for a decent grip/push).

The Sumatran sewar has a round hilt while the keris hilt exhibits faceting.

Regards,
Kai

Would it be possible to get a shot looking down onto the top of the gonjo?
