Hello David,

my guess is also deer horn since on the head is an inserted piece of the same material. I have had a phone with a collector friend and he also think that it is antler. About the origin: the handle shows in my eyes clearly Ganesha and my friend guess by this that the origin is Bali because the religious background. On the other hand is the design more like Cirebon or Madura. Would you be so kind to show your handle?
