Jawa Demam?

Well, i wouldn't say definitely not.

But it does seem that the hilt i posted has a more direct connection to the hilts we know as Jawa Demam. But all these hilts could be various depictions of the same subject.

Hmmm... the form just doesn't flow. It looks a bit too 'ethnographic'.

Which particular form that's been shown are you referring to Kai Wee ?

Also, now that we have seen a couple of 'possible' related Jawa Demam forms does anyone have an unabstract (to a degree) example of a Garuda hilt ?
If not then when and how does the Jawa Demam morph into the Garuda form ?

Even if the base is curved, in my opinion David's hilt could be not from Sumatra but from Jawa.
The type seems to be rather recent and could be from Madura or near Tegal (model Wayang type).
