Early reinforced bakelite. I'm thinking layers of interleaved paper and a resin. Free to move internally, slightly; with some fluidity remaining in the goo. It'd need a hard shell layer too but im thinking "spiderweb" shock resilience might come from the fluid component. like Air between the pages of the magazines.
