Identifying 3 hilts

[A. G. Maisey]

It seems that many of us have come to agreement that this lady (?) who is having the bad hair day is Rarung.

Now we know that Rarung was not noted for regular visits to a hair stylist, & also that she avoided the use of hair spray, in fact, most comments on Rarung's hair indicate that it was decidedly unkempt.

Yesterday I spent some time on looking at traditional representations of Rarung --- carvings, dance costumes & etc . I looked at a lot.

I could not find a single traditional Balinese representation of Rarung with her unkempt hair covering her fanged face.

This raises in my mind the possibility that perhaps all these representations of Rarung with her face covered by a veil of hair are perhaps airport art.

Alternate hypothesis: Cousin It once made a visit to Indonesia.

(Actually I wonder if there was some cross-cultural influence there when the Addams Family writers came up with that character.)

this is another one that I have just seen recently from a person whom acquired a kris of mine and replaced the hilt with this one
