@A.Alnakkas
It certainly did, thanks!

@Anyone
Is there anything to tell about symbolism: birds (phoenixes), holes (eyes and mouth), etc etc?

Hi,

The birds look like peacocks to me.

Have seen these type of spears (more in ceremonial use) in some temples, noble houses too mostly in southern India.
