The dent (natural, NOT man made) is related to mystic or so called esoteri aspect.

Yes Rick, I also want to know more about, for this reason I started this threat because I think that there is a mystic background.

The dent is to protect the owner from misfortune and evil spirit. We called hilts as 'Pangulu' and when the materials made from Sea Ivory or Ivory we called it 'Pangulu Buku'. The pangulu buku itself is an attribute of nobilty. Pangulu buku is required (a must have) whenever there is a ritual ceremony in the palace. Pangulu buku can also be use as a medication for children with high fever, soaking it into a bowl of water for a day and allow it to drink.

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation. So I understand now also why you can find Pangulu Buku where some material is cratched away. This missing material was used for medicine, correct?

Hello Sipakatuo,

that the dent is natural and not made by hand is clearly to see but I suspect just this mystic or in bahasa Indonesia esoteri aspect behind this dent. Do you know more about this?
