Hello Detlef,
Nice catch indeed.
The rattan across the front and around the edges seems to be all there.
That is a great plus.
I would suggest to start with restoring the bone inlays and the nassa shells, and than take some time to see if that gives a satisfying result.
I think that by restoring the hair, there is a big risk that it will get a "too new" or "too obviously restored" appearance.
Good luck anyway , and would love to see the results in due time.
Best regards,
Willem
