Now and then you see Indonesian weapons with broken hilts that has been fixed.
It's not that uncommon among Keris hilts like f.i. the one in the link below as well as several in Kerner's A4 sized "Collection book".
And of course the fragile L-shaped Rencong hilts.

The handle looks like horn or some dark wood wrapped with wire.

Interesting , but who can really tell much from a 12kb picture ?

Maybe you could request for better photos? Especially a closer shot of the hilt.
