Hi Gio,

Thank you! From time to time I get offered nice items from Indonesia, so this two old betel crushers and the wooden Bali/Lombok handle. Two nice old taji ayam are in this parcel as well.

Best regards,

Horn does not make a very effective crushing tool, so I'd not opt for pestle.

The end looks rather like a truncated cone; it might fit into some sort of socketed apparatus, the nature of which I couldn't guess.

Hello Peter,

We have had a thread special for this items, see here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ight=Taji+ayam

Until now I don't know why it got closed, I would be glad to post them there, I have a third one before. Maybe the mods can open this thread again and I would be glad to show them there!
I don't want to hijack this thread and I would be reluctant to start a new thread about taji ayam!
Anyway, here two pic. of my three boxes.

Best regards,
Detlef

Hello Detlef,

Thanks for the pictures. These are very nice boxes.
Since I bought the book Kotak Taji by van Donk, I've been also looking for such a beautiful piece.

Best regards
Peter

Hello Peter,

By me is the book on my wish list! Like Alan wrote in the given thread they are hard to come by and most of the time very expensive, sadly.

Best regards,
