Yes, possibly an interpretation, but I was thinking in terms of mating.
If it is mated, its a professional job, and a few years back there were a lot of mendak/pendogkok exactly like this one coming out of Pasar Turi, Surabaya, usually silver plated brass or copper, but there were a few genuine silver ones too. A mating job such as this one might be was pretty common in that place around 20 years ago.
