Very nice acquisition .

Dear Rick,

It is pure wooden hilts, with good (old) finishing. Looks like Cinnabar (red mercury sulfide, HgS), but really it is made of wood. Maybe a kind of "tayuman" (?) or "tri kanchu" wood.

I got other hilts too from this senior collector, pattani hilts (tajong hilts) and maybe kelantan hilts too. Later I'll post in other thread.

Regards,

GANJAWULUNG (Jakarta, June 1, 2008)

Thank you Pak Jimmy for sharing the beautiful hilt.

This head is a 'horse-form' for this one.
