Default Twist-core with two piece ivory cockatoo

Here is a moro kris with a very subtle kind of twist-core. Blade is 21 inches long and the twist is not easy to see. The interesting about this piece is that the ivory pommel is made from two pieces put together with gold pins. On the back to the front, there are holes that might have held a strip of maybe silver or something else, although there is no evidence that anything was ever laid around the top of the pommel. No Scabbard. Anyone have any ideas about what these holes might have been used for...........Dave.
