Unknown sarong for comment
Another unknown sheath with at first glance Djogja features. Purchases without a blade. The warangka looks like derived from a Gayaman ( unfortunantely cracked) but the sides have not been adapted and they show the same patination as all around. The carving (arrow) however is not a Djogja feature. Observing from aside the top level indicates it should carry a blade with ganja wilut. The belonging silver sheath shows a geometrical pattern which I have never seen before ( and slightly longer then a common Djogja pendok, about 1 cm). It is glued together with the crosspiece. What do we see here: an uncommon Djogja or a Pesisir sarong?
