What is the meaning behind this gandik type?
I have come across this gandik type twice now and am curious as to what exactly is depicted here. The lower figure reminds me of a rhinoceros while the upper figure may represent a predator of some sort, a tiger perhaps?
Does anyone know what is depicted on this gandik? Does it represent a scene from a story, epic, myth or legend? What are the meanings associated with this depiction? What is this gandik meant to tell the person viewing it? PS: Both keris I have seen it on are from Bali. Last edited by David; 26th February 2013 at 05:56 PM. Reason: The owner of the keris has asked that this image be removed. |
