Probably.
But it seems that many if not most motifs in use in Javanese --- and we can read this to include Madura --- ornamental decoration are the result of some sort of influence:- Hindu, Chinese, Islamic, European. It could well be an interesting exercise to identify the indigenous motifs. |

Donoriko form
Back from the dead.. with a question.
The basic form of the Donoriko hilt, what does it represent? Did it evolved from another hilt type? |
