You are right, and I will do so, but it is Sunday, and I don't
think I could contact him.
As it is decorative and plays no structural role, I thought perhaps
it might be quite simple to do; but it must be reversible.
Meanwhile, I feel unable to play, which is rather a bother.
The string length is 70cm.

why don't you ask the builder, Anthony? He must know better, IMHO...
BTW, what string length does your beautiful intsrument have?

Dear Lutenists
While carrying out my latest octave tweak, replacing the
octaves with Venice Meanes, I left the string a little too long:
once the strings were up to tension, the thickness at the peg,
pushed out the pegbox decoration.
Here is a picture of how it was before this occurred:

My question, what glue, apart from hide glue (without heating) can
I use to glue it back? I suppose it must be reversible.
I imagine it only needs a small drop, as it has only moved in the
last upper 3rd.
I would be grateful for suggestions.

Anthony
