RESTORATION PROJECT ON A GOLOK

The highly Europeanized treatment of the eagle is interesting to me. Is this Javanese?
Nice project; good luck.

Looks like you have something to do this weekend

Your eagle looks a bit like a parrot. But probably its another Garuda variation.
I had a bird with an eye missing as well, but I can't find it back, probably the birds gone.

In case I catch it again I'll let you know.

When I was trying to catch the bird I broke my neck over the following sheath.

It might be the clip your looking for. Connectiontype is the same as your sheath foot (bone or ivory nail) and the clip is made of horn as well. From what I noticed it would fit in the retangular space left in the wood of your scabbard. On top of that this sheath had a similar carved decor as yours.

Lets hope this helps a bit
(I hope pics are clear, was a bit dark already)
