Nice kayan handle Willem,

It looks like a baby laying in his cradle with those little legs in the air...:D

Now seriously.
A pity the front has a missing broken part.
Normally the faces are the other way around!

(Can you send me more images of the whole sword please?)

Hi Flavio, (and others)
Don't wanna be a spoil here, but the thread had a certain aim :)

Quote:
When collecting Borneo Dayak parang one thing that thrills me are the variations of different faces, or full figures, on the top side of the hilt common among some tribes.
That's why I hoped that we all could share our "faces" so we could together create a huge reference image bank of these variations and enjoy them as pieces of art.
For this reason I think it would be great if this thread was pictures only, no comments or questions here either on origin or of appreciation.
And only pictures of dayak parang were the top of the hilt is dominated by a face or sitting figure, none of the other hilt variations here please.

Willem, I see faces on almost all the mandau's hilts posted, maybe very stylized, but still faces.... If not I'm sorry :o

This weekend I managed to find time to take pictures of the latest acquisitions. Among the mandaus I found a couple of familiar faces for this gallery...

The small figure is a loose inlay, original to the handle.
See also the small face on the side of the handle.

It's been a bit slow at the face gallery so here are my latest.
The first two with small bonus faces on the sides too.

The same handle as I posted in post #26, only from a different angle.
Because I like this image more as I posted earlier of the same handle, I decided to upload it again in my favorite thread!

I know this is supposed an "image only" thread, so sorry for my interference here Michael.
But one question for Cerjak on the posted mandauhandle.
Could you make a seperate thread of your mandau? I would like to see the blade and scabbard if there is one....

Thanks,
Maurice

I saw this handle from Privateer Productions, which makes replica weapons for films.

I was so impressed that I called the company, and the gentleman I spoke with told me that the piece is a replica of an actual mandau handle which he saw in a museum.
