Okay, possibly a little horn loss under one/both eyes ?
(I see the new pics)
Perhaps they bulged originally and they have fallen or broken off .
I think Lombok in origin; a feeling .

I wonder if this hilt represents a metamorphosis in process as it is so vague in form except on the back where it is very detailed .
The forming of a Kocet Kocetan ?
We can only guess what the carver was thinking .
