I'd guess at very weathered hippo, Detlef. 
IMHO this piece is a very nice status rencong (maybe even early 19th century) that got renovated some time during the 20th century in Aceh: The gold work looks genuine; the craftsmanship is considerably less than during the 19th (or even early 20th) century though.

Hello Kai and others.
This rentjong was presented on a television antique show for appraisal, Unfortunately I am not the owner.
Best regards,
