Restored Lopah Petawaran

William the original hilt is made of wood that was cut straight and exposed.

Kai I studied those of the other form and the examples I saw had scalloped edges and covered with a but plate of silver, yes most with a metal protrusion from the center.

Mine did not have a place for a protrusion nor a but plate nor scalloped edges, so based on this plus research plus the advice of forum members who know more than I on this subject, I restored this the way I did.
