Hi Norman

Two guesses ... Bhutan or Java

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the info. Two areas rather far apart! Hopefully I will be able to put better photographs up after the weekend and maybe will give a better idea of origin. Thanks again.
My Regards,
Norman.

it appears to be Indonesian as indicated below by another example with a peculiar central joining piece forming a slot into which the two short arms form a longer bow... and illustrating the while material binding the device.

Hi Ibrahiim,
You're spot on. Many thanks.

Hi Colin,
Java seems pretty good. Thanks again.

My Regards,
Norman.
