In Martin Kerner's
Keris-Griffe Aus Museen Und Privatsammlungen, there is a mention on repair works. A
Jawa Demam hilt with the woven wire type. (Pg159-161, Fig: G242). "The figure of Jawa Demam ... ivory of a Sumatran hilt split at the base. In a skillful manner it is kept together with woven wire so that it is at the same time a decoration and takes the function of a selut".
Similar to the other example posted of the wire-works type.
Ok, now back to the horn type...
