Only restore if you are absolute sure that the piece will be better. Otherwise an original broken thing is worth more that a bad restored example.
The most difficult part is to remake the birds beak again in harmony with the lines/shape of the rest. My advice would be to make it roughly and that glue it and remodel it when its fastened to get the best result.

Hi Arjan,
be sure that the restauration will be done very carefully. I've get not long ago a shandigan/junggayan barong where the nose is broken away long time ago and the break is well patinated, this piece I will keep in this state. I will show this barong in the next time.
Thank you for the useful tips!
Regards,
Detlef
