Horn material in Rencong

[Bob A]

Stimulated by Ibrahiim al Balooshi's recent post regarding identification of rhino horn in khanjar hilts, I was reminded of the translucent nature of the hilt in a recently acquired rencong. I took several photos - apologies for single-handed cell phone pics - using a bright flashlight to illuminate the innards of the horn.

I lack the expertise to determine the origin of the horn. Comment encouraged.
