the material used seems to be horn.
Anyone seen this before ?
Hello Freddy,

Yes, I do see them now and than on javanese golok scabbards.
I believe the the horn is boiled in order to get it supple and to be able to bend it. Seems like a difficult technique to me.
But than again, rattan weaving seems difficult to me too.
