Dear all,

Here 2 from my collection. The one with the blue background is said to be made from horn, for a GANA that is peculiair?

These gana hilts from South Sumatra look quite standardized, except the ones from Michael.
I own one made from horn and in a different style, but not originally designed for a kris as the cross section is oval and the peksi hole has a rectangular shape. And I also show a more natural javanese gana hilt made from ebony.
Regards

Wow, this first Palembang keris (the whole ensemble!) is love at first sight for me Michael. Very nice! :)

One more.

Alan,
Very expressive piece! This one seems to be fitted on a Madurese kris, do you know if these gana hilts are found elsewhere than Java and (South?) Sumatra?
Regards

Hello Michael,

very nice keris with a very interesting gana hilt. Do you know the material?

Also by the last shown example I would be interested to know which material was used by this hilt.

Regards,
Detlef

Thanks David and Detlef,

The first is made of antler and the third of a tree root.

I have added a gana hilt to my family now so i thought i would add it to this thread to share it with the folks. :)

Nice one! :) Thank you for sharing.
