It has the horn belly missing on one limb and you can see the construction. The grooves are far from matching. The idea here is many layers of thin glue sizing to have a thick glue line.

Very interesting, thanks for the clarification Chuck.

One of these days I'll get around to posting photos of the bow. The horn belly looks to have only taken up the center half of the belly with thick sinew taking up the space on the sides and covering the horn belly
