Bali Hilts
Here is my second attempt to drum up a little bit of interest in keris discussion.
Completely different to my posting of Grandfather photos, several rather nice Balinese hilts. Perhaps somebody else may wish to add photos of Balinese hilts in their own collection? |

All right , that is my last buy . Some of you already look at these pics for opinion on material used for this ganesha Bali hilt . Lot of different suggestions but looks like we have sperm whale tooth .... or horn ?! Impossible to remove the selut to get a closed inside view unfortunately .

Here is my one and only Balinese hilt of ivory. I did the gold work since I could not find anyone here to do it.

And now for something completely simple...
The wood is Pink Ivory wood, one of the rarest woods in the world, and incredibly dense. I took the wood to Bali and had a good carver make this. |
