Yep, Ganesha is pretty recognisable.

Here's a couple more pics of Hanuman.

As for our other two little mates, I'm inclined to wait a while and see if anybody else has some opinions.

Yep, H.A. Numan is a bit nice. Had a lot of these over the years, but this fellow is probably the nicest. Material is buffalo horn.

Could hilt number 4 be.... Ravana? The headdress is a representation of the other 9 heads?

Btw, there's this other hilt which I've seen in recent times - that of a long-bearded old man. I don't have pics, but does any one know what that hilt represents?

Could this be a Maduran interpretation of the hilt form you mention Kai Wee ?

If I am counting right, I think #4 is Bayu. The post after that is Hanuman.
