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.

Rasjid,
Some very impressive examples. Does the first one have a date of 1706? The last one the Donoriko is great too! Thanks for sharing, Erik Quote:

What an unusual donoriko! The proportions, form and carvings are all quite unique!
 Definitely worth looking at for a long while!

Regarding the style of carving -- creative carving, not too conventional but sometimes too complicated -- did Jaknal make this hilt specially for you? (Jaknal -- one of the best contemporary Maduran ivory carver, died about a month ago in Madura. He was less than 60 years old...) GANJAWULUNG |

Madura hilts
I agree, the donoriko is very thick and big, suitable for big keris.
Yes erikscollectables, It's 1706 but small size. Ganjawulung, I got it (big donoriko) from Jaknal (his personal collection), but I don't think he made this one. It's different carving, compare with the new donoriko, I posted ealier, made by late Jaknal. It's his last piece. regards, rasjid |
