Dear All,
Again, this was just an intermezzo. Just call it a weekender keris sight-seeing. Just want to share with you, pictures of what many of you call such hilts as -- raksasa hilts. Or, "buta bajang" hilts, whatever. Really I don't have the "pakem" book yet on such hilts. I would like to thank you too, if you wish to share too, your pictures on such hilts. I believe, there are still more such hilts all around here... GANJAWULUNG |

Some of them are not like "buta" or "raksasa", but like figures of Javanese wayang...

Nice handles Pak G.
You're right, it is a pity we do not have any guide book relating to this form of hilt. I've posted some rough pics of a few of mine, but really, I don't know if they strictly fit the parameters or not --- but I'm certain that they fit the "whatever" classification. |

Thanks a lot, Alan for sharing your fantastic "butas"... Is there any thing to tell on some of their 'gesture'. Any 'speculation' idea on the "mudra", the special gesture of their hands and fingers maybe?

My favourite kind of keris hilt!
In the late Karsten Sejr-Jensenīs book and CD there is an analysis of the mudra signs etc. Here are some of mine. Michael |

Good idea David.
I'd forgotten that we'd been down this road before, if I'd remembered I would not have started walking along it again. |
