Could have been ivory or MOP. At this point we will never know for sure, so if you choose to fill it with some material i would say it is dealer's choice.

I am trying to find a material that may have been inlayed to the pommel. If there is anybody with knowledge of magical amulets relating to the list below would be very helpful.
Kabal (or kunat) - agimat that supposedly make the skin invulnerable to cuts and sword slashes.[14] Pamako - agimat or orasyon (magical prayer) that supposedly nail down entities to keep them from moving[15] Tagabulag - agimat that supposedly turns the wearer invisible against their enemy[14] or blind them[15] Tagaliwas - agimat that can supposedly deflect bullets[15] What is going on here, English translation would be very informative. https://fb.watch/tOXevo9wl1/ Last edited by Tim Simmons; 7th August 2024 at 09:43 AM. |

Sorry, I still strongly doubt that there was an amulet inlay, I have seen several inlays in Moro wooden pommels like shown in up. Amulets (anting anting) are most of the time coins or fabric. Do a little bit search at this place and you will find several examples. Here is a restoration with MOP but I guess that there was once a coin. Regards, Detlef |
