Hello Erik,
first off all i want to tell you that there are more different "subtypes" of this form. I have 9 handles of this form in my collection and there are two which have a garuda mungkur in the back, one have a diadem in front of the head and two I have where the hands are floral carved. When I find the time I will take some pictures to show this. Second I have to agree with David. Jenssen don't give a source from where he know that this is Bima for sure. sajen |

I totally agree there are more subtypes of this type of hilt I tried to find as many specimens of this specifice type without all the exceptions. Would love to see the types you have. In chapter 3 and 4 Jenssen describes at least 6 subtypes. the one with the garuda mungkur not I think, what is it? I have another strange version I will include here but it certainly is not the same as the mentioned Bima figural hilt. It is a crossed arms version with a snake on the back. Maybe links to the type you mention? Not so far away from a jawa demam, very old and quite worn. Regards, Erik |
