Is this a whale's tooth?

Hello Harry,

The scabbard crafted from a single piece of wood is something that should be especially mentioned!

This is a Keris that I purchased from Ron over the holidays.

BTW... If you've not bought from Ron you have missed the best buyer experience ever.

I certainly can recommend him, too!

Regards,
Kai

I think it is whale bone. At least I vaguely remember Ron mentioning that. It does not look like any bone I have ever seen before. That it was a tooth was wishful thinking on my part. I am always looking for the Holy Grail

Many thanks to everyone for the comments, suggestions, etc. It helps a lot.

Hello Kai,
Many thanks for your help with the hilt. I think you are right about it being bone. Thanks also for pointing out the "single piece" scabbard. I had not noticed that. Happy new year!
