Lovely collection, so many styles

A. G. Maisey · 23rd September 2009, 10:42 PM

They're in the wrong place Sajen:- those hilts belong in my cabinet, not yours.

Rick · 23rd September 2009, 10:52 PM

Once again I sin in my heart .

Could I see some closeups of the bird hilt in the foreground with the woven silver base ... please ??

Hi Sajen,
very interesting collection.
Could you show us the third hulu, front row. It looks really peculiar.
Congratulations

Michel

Last time you show your cabinet Alan:- a lot of those belong in mine!

Thank you Detlef,
Now that I have seen it, it does not look as peculiar as I initially thought.
In your first picture, I saw a bird with a double beak. I had never seen a double beak with long upper mandible divided in two. Now it is clear it is just a long, very long beak.
Do you think it was made for a keris ? or was it just sculpted as an artistic expression ?
Have you been able to assemble you very nice collection just in Germany or have you had to travel in Indonesia to assemble it ?
Thanks for sharing
Regards
Michel

Hello Michel,

this type of hilts are from Lampung, Sumatra. Many of my hilts, also this one, I have collected in Indonesia. I don't know exactly if this is an old one but you can see at the hole for the pesi that it have been on a keris one time. When you have the book from Martin Kerner "Keris-Griffe aus Museen und Privatsammlungen" look at page 128, there is a very similar hilt. Also in the third book from Tammens "De Kris 3" on page 183, picture 166 is a similar hilt. The one Rick want to see is also a Lampung hilt.
Regards,
Detlef

Here a Lampung hilt from horn either original set together from two pieces or an old repair. This is for sure an antique hilt, also collected in Indonesia.

Sajen · 25th September 2009, 07:28 PM

And here another wooden example from the same region which lost his beak long time ago. The finest carving from all.
