The handle looks like from a javanese Keris.
But the Kujang is javanese, so it makes sense. My new Kujang has no big similarities to a Keris. |

It's only geographical Javanese, ethnograhical it's Sundanese. Also when I've seen them sometimes with keris handles I doubt that is the original handle but since I've found it like this and that it seems that it was quite long with the blade it will stay with it. Quote:

Yes, geographical javanese. What I mean is that it explains this combination very well. That has nothing to do with the ethnographic origin.

It's some sort of white non ferric metal, maybe silver or mamas. And I bet that the two other holes were filled with metal originally, I will take some close-ups later. The kujang is at the moment in restore status. The filled hole and the original old appearance of it was the reason I bought it. I only will remove the rust, a little bit polish and a new etch of the blade. The mendak was broken in parts after removing the handle, it will get an other old one. Regards, Detlef |
