Another couple.
Funny thing:- I've never seen any older examples of this type. |

SWASTIKA ornaments?
Dear All,
Apologize me, for reviving the old thread of Maduran hilts. I am posting this, after BluErf said in another post about "swastika ornaments" in some Cirebon hilts. But here, I found in this hilt of my collection, a Maduran hilt with supposed to be "swastika ornaments" as BlueErf said... Just an intermezzo.... GANJAWULUNG |

Hi Ganjawulung,
this was the thread I meant, thanks for bumping it up again! I have seen this swastika before in a Madura hilt, that was also in wood. so it might be a rare but returning motif also in Madura. Regards, Erik Quote:

DOUBLE headed
Dear All,
This is a quite strange model of Maduran hilt -- a double-headed creature, with wild boar front face and bird rear face. Carricatural design? GANJAWULUNG |

"Garuda Mungkur" or usually spelled in a speed-javanese as "Gruda Mungkur" is a type of ornamentation in Wayang art (javanese) -- head ornamentation or crown ornamentation behind the head. Most styles in Javanese wayang -- whether it is Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Cirebon, Kedu, Kaligesing, Banyumas, East Java and Bali style -- they use "gruda mungkur" ornamentation in different expressions. Not only 'raksasa' (demon, giant) wayang figures have 'gruda mungkur' ornamentation, but also some 'ksatria' (knight), 'patih' (prime-minister)and also some female wayang figures... These pictures below, are some examples on "gruda mungkur" (litterally means 'garuda facing backward') in 'raksasa' figure and Anjani (a goddess in wayang, wife of Batara Guru the highest god) GANJAWULUNG Last edited by ganjawulung; 13th February 2009 at 03:18 AM.
