Here a Lampung hilt from horn either original set together from two pieces or an old repair. This is for sure an antique hilt, also collected in Indonesia.

And here another wooden example from the same region which lost his beak long time ago. The finest carving from all.

And here a recent example (I bought it 1994 in Idonesia) but a masterpiece of carving. Note, the ring under the beak is movable and the complete hulu is from one piece of wood. Unfotunately is this hilt fallen down one time and the beak was broken, it's reglued.

I've got a few more Lampung ones but they're not ready to photograph. If I ever get them cleaned up and repaired I'll post pics of them.
