Wooden Selut
Has anyone seen a wooden selut on a keris before? Attached are photos of a turned wood selut (perhaps kemuning) on a rather straightforward Balinese keris with a kocet kocetan hilt made of horn. If this is a traditional, albeit uncommon treatment, should it have a mendak also? The turning is carefully and well done. Due to the loose fit I don't think the scabbard is original to the blade.
Sincerely,
