Tayuman and Kemuning Werut
Dear All,
Tayuman or Cassia laevigata Wild, usually "reddish" and no "serat" (lines grain). Look at the "lonely" Yogyakartanese hilt below. The other two behind are of "kemuning werut" (Muraya particulata Jack) with lines. Kemuning werut, is used in Bugis handle or Sumba handle too, like in the following picture. You may look also the lines grain in the Bugis hilt and Sumba hilt. Darker color than the tayuman... Ganjawulung |

Ganja,
I think the hilt might be from Sumbawa, not Sumba. AFAIK on Sumba there never was any local keris culture and production. But Sumbawa (Bima) has had both Bugis and Lombok connections keriswise. Michael |

Sorry for being late to response your post. Exactly you are right. It might be Sumbawa and not Sumba. Thanks for the correction... Ganjawulung |
