Bali togogan (figural) hilts

lemmythesmith · 20th April 2008, 01:48 PM

Hi everyone, I recently purchased the new keris book by Jean Greffioz and I'm interested in finding out more about the Balinese "togogan" or figural hilts, the hilt in the shape of a ram or goat headed demon I found paticularly interesting-research online indicates he might be an incarnation of Barong.

Does anybody have hilts/pictures they would be willing to share of the less common togogan types?

hmm...they were there right after my posting.

Well, just put "Bali hilt" into the search and you will get the same list i did originally. The search feature of this forum is an under used treasure trove of information.

Don't know if this helps but here is the ivory hilt of my one and only Bali keris - the form is Ravana from the Ramayana (I did the gold work).

Things are pretty quiet here in the Warung lately, so I thought I'd try to start a new game:-
