Dear All,
I took this photo at an exhibition, Pesta Rakyat Cirebon (Folk Festival of Cirebon) at Jalan Siliwangi, Cirebon last week. An interesting combination -- "durga" hilt (?) combined on an old "kudi tranchang" (kind of sundanese kujang) -- in an unordinary sheath (the form, and the material of the warangka). The upper warangka, the "pelokan" part (not the gandar part) is probably made of "albino-buffalo" horn...

What I want to know, is there any information on this kind of (durga) hilt?
