Thanks and well spotted.
Unfortunately the beak is goneon the Gayo handle, it probably was silver (at least not ivory I think). It has 5 stars around the middle. From Jensen his Kris disc I learned that has to do with the rank of the wearer.
Just had a look at your Minang handles, the are really great! Mine is much simpeler.
Regards, Erik
