I just read a little bit more about Hinduism in Indonesia, here a statement I found in this german wiki link:https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulawesi
"Sulawesi wurde seit dem 15. Jahrhundert islamisiert, als der Islam in Indonesien Fuß fasste. Zuvor waren Buddhismus und Hinduismus vorherrschend, die aber stark von lokalen Traditionen durchdrungen waren. Der Islam vermischte sich ebenfalls mit traditionellen Glaubensvorstellungen."
Free translation: Sulawesi become islamicized in the 15th century when Islam become to grow in Indonesia. Before Buddhism and Hinduism have been predominant but both were steeped from local beliefs. The Islam get mixed as well with traditional beliefs.
Maybe a further explanation how a swastika found it's way on a Muslim blade.

Regards,
Detlef
