Hi, I have been contacted by an Indian seller who has an Aruval from southern India for sale. He is asking for $500.
It appears to be a nice and decorative piece, but far too expensive for me - however if anyone is interested send me a PM and I will forward to the seller. (No commison to me, I just have the pleasure of adding the images to my archives).
A word of warning, which someone may have the solution to... a fellow collector offered to send me some cheap Indian billhooks he bought at a local market... Mumbai customs reteurned them to him as they contravened their security policy (despite being sent via the Indian Post Office, double boxed and sewn into a postal bag)...
