Is it from wood or horn?

its from wood...a very old carving. what is most interesting is the 'wattles"motif on top of the head, no found in ordinary kerdas hilts.

By this I have written that it could be also from Sumbawa, when I remember correct I have seen a similar hilt before which was attributed to Sumbawa.
