Wayne, i know very little about this form, but as the saying goes, I may not know art, but i know what i like!".

This conteng appears to be very nicely crafted. I like the silver work. It might be possible that the silver is actually laid over a horn base. Maybe it isn't just where you inset the pesi, but the entire core of the hilt. Do you have any idea of it's age?
