Tajong-viewing plesure & comments.
Another Tajong for your viewing pleasure. Hope this would help to release work tensions and clear up the mind. Feel free to comment. Hope some one could help to identify age of the hilt, motif and what kind of wood is it. Could it be Kenaong, Kemuning Hitam or something else. I really take note and enjoy all your comments.

Amazing hit with a beautiful sarong
Hard wood seems to have a nice patina

This is an interesting newer tajong
Sampir made from graham is not found in the older tajong, as are the silver works on the batang and linking the daun-daun, which probably are separate pieces due to limitation of raw material. The hilt needs to have a broader head to look nicer, nose is a bit too long. The tajong spiral needs to be more centralized on the makara. For this style of hilt, the janggut should be more prominent, I feel. The carver needs to sharpen his carving knife more often while carving. Quite a number of spots where the line is not clean, prob due to the knife dulling. Overall, pleasing to the eyes though.
