I don't know if this style have a special name but it's a common form, here some of my examples: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...&postcount=117 & http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...&postcount=127

And it's not a pure Madura hilt, it's also common at the North coast. Some call them janggelan.

I don't think i'd call this style janggelan. Jean categorizes them separately in his recent hilt book, though only identifies them as "Floral Style" from Madura.
