Heavens above !!!
How is the gold attached to the ivory ?
Is it a sheet covering the carving that is then formed and crimped ?

Impressive work.

Great hilt!

I love the natural flow of the figure! And the gold work is very nicely done too. Selut looks very solid.

Was this based on the example in the Invincible Keris?

In old examples of this type of work that I have seen the gold was held in place with jabung.

In newer examples a super-glue type adhesive was used, Alteco is a favourite.
