Default Gana hilt

I want to share my first Gana hilt with you. It would be nice to see other gana hilts from your collections.

I just rediscovered this interesting thread initiated by Detlef.
Let's try to revive it and I hope others will post their Gana-hilts here too.

Dear all,

Here 2 from my collection. The one with the blue background is said to be made from horn, for a GANA that is peculiair?

These gana hilts from South Sumatra look quite standardized, except the ones from Michael.
I own one made from horn and in a different style, but not originally designed for a kris as the cross section is oval and the peksi hole has a rectangular shape. And I also show a more natural javanese gana hilt made from ebony.
Regards

Alan,
Very expressive piece! This one seems to be fitted on a Madurese kris, do you know if these gana hilts are found elsewhere than Java and (South?) Sumatra?

Hello Michael,

very nice keris with a very interesting gana hilt. Do you know the material?

Also by the last shown example I would be interested to know which material was used by this hilt.

Regards,
Detlef

Thanks David and Detlef,

The first is made of antler and the third of a tree root.
