What do you think about this hilt ?
An other kris hilt outside of the traditional pattern !
Is that lady praying ? Is it a Christian nun ?
She wears a veil as long as herself but has her face uncovered.
Strange mixture of concepts, but the hilt is fairly well carved.
I have already shown this hilt in the forum but nobody could find where from it came and what it was supposed to represent. I found it in Jogjakarta in 1999 with other untraditional hilts as a swan.
The hole for the peksi is perfectly round and obviously modern (20th century)
I would appreciate your comments
