More pictures to help identify this hilt type.
  Based on the stocky size, I think it is a Penghulu (chieftain) type.

Marco,
An interesting thought and a good lead ... I'll check it out. Thanks. Battara, Yes... It does looks Bugis, thanks. Any idea which region it was used or originated from? Imho, the sheath, is a "chieftain" type, but the aesthetics are different. Alam Shah. |

Hello,
In the book Ragam Hulu Keris there is a very similar ukiran on page 75: "116. Sulawesi Jawa Denam, merupakan bentuk standar di Sulawesi Selatan." It may support the Bugis/Sulawesi thought. I will scan the page tomorrow and post it. Regards, Emanuel |
