I think Drac's item is Walrus Ivory. I only used Fish Bone as a euphemism for the material. If you look at the end that is narrower, where it is cut, you can see the dentine core of the tusk.

I can't figure out why the fish bone part has so many cuts and holes, perhaps it's a multi-use tool which would make sense in a semi nomadic culture in the time period it came from.

It looks very...

Hi Ian,
I missed your response. That kind of pipe is often used as buried septic pipe; you would probably have to find some at a plumbing supply wholesaler or possibly a contractor's supply...

Sumatran Bluegrass. ;)
I thought it sounded sort of like a Banjo at first.
Surprisingly loud for such a small instrument.

Interesting metal tab that is attached to the ferrule ring and laying on top of the gonjo .

Suppose it ever had a baca-baca stirrup once?
Sure looks like it did.

Wink Do Clothes Make the Man?

Is a backsword blade in Nimcha dress still called a Nimcha?
All of the Nimchas in this thread have curved blades.

Is it welcome in the Brotherhood? :o

The braided silver wire is obvious in color, but I think that the contrasting rings are swassa; they just don't look like brass. :shrug:








Good to see Shrug back again. :cool:

Engaged, a shot garland like this would spill the top round off the pile on near impact creating yet another problem rolling around on the deck for the poor bastards who were serving the great Guns.

The wiggle at the tip looks it was done on purpose, unless it has already had previous attempts to take the accidental kink out.

I don't get an Indonesian vibe from the carving style, Drac.
I doubt it's a married piece.
I'll still go with West Africa.
It's just a gut feeling though. :o

The first place that came to my mind was Benin and the bronzes made there.

Thumbs up Nice Sword

Looks like black coral (akar bahar) from what I can see.
It also looks like it may have been crudely carved.
When polished the black material almost seems like it absorbs light.
