The top of the hilt does not show any of the rhino grain, the translucency is not right. The fiberious structure along the hilt is that of a cattle horn rather than rhino. Also, on the side of the hilt, you can see the white stain like structure that is characteristic of cattle horn.

Many cattle, cow,buffalo and else in our cuntry, and of those horn in our neighbourhood... But direct-physically when we saw those horn, why look not the same... Also deer and ivory, or any kind of wood which traditionally use for Iindonesian call Keris, Parang etc ... It is so different with this weapon hilt material... Or maybe it is camel bone? Or elephant or cattle bone.. Thanks fot help then...
