Coteng with older wooden handle
Has any one seen this Coteng wooden handle? It looks like a Tajong but it's a Coteng

Hello Max,
Quote:
AFAIK, hulu Coteng never have a beard and the typical flat head. The hilt you show has a considerably heavier head (again like typical hulu Tajong). What is the reasoning of your local contacts? (Assuming they favor the classification of this hilt as hulu Coteng?) Regards, Kai |

It has a boxier form, and a rudimentary beard, from the looks of the photo. A "kampung"" quality hilt, which is still nice, but not exactly an archetype form to do deep analysis on. |
