Possible... but I guess our focus is on the age of the artifact.

If it is, then it would be considered 'isi susulan', probably not done by an empu(?). It's like putting a Ferrari engine in a Ford Pinto shell.

Very thoughtful........can the shell fit the Ferrari engine? What about the ford's body, can it take such power?

pictured seems to be a tibetan horn. Where did they get that?

Sorry- the only pic that I can find is very small.
