Default Bali Hulu / Ukiran / Hilt

Hi All,

due to the hollidays here in Holland i am less active on the forum, and just look every few days whats new.

I recently acquired some Hulu and they are from Bali / Lombok they came from an old collection that was brought together in the forties and have been in a storage since 1951 when the family returned to Holland from Indonesia after the war of independence.

the top one: cecekahan or cekah redut / Danganan / Bebondolan
middle one: Loceng / lelocengan rambut wood wrapped with hair
bottom one: Does this one qualifies to the Cecekahan family or does it have
another name. I could not find a similar one in my books or on
the internet.

So i hope to find more info by the experts here on the forum.

Regards, Martin

Bottom is cekah redut, top example is bebondolan, middle is loncengan.

The word "danganan" means the hilt of a keris. I think it can also mean the handle of an umbrella or handle of some other long large thing, like perhaps a walking stick.

EDIT
Sorry, I shot too quickly, I took a glance at the pics and the text, then i wrote, what I wrote was wrong, my quick glance gave me a memory of a bebondolan I missed the cuts, that top hilt will probably have a total of eleven cuts, so that makes it cekah solas. "solas" = "eleven", "cekah" = "thick slice".
