Mine does not seen especially well-made or unusual in any way except for the asymmetry. What I mean is that it looks like it was made for use, not display or ceremony. It is heavy and stout!

Hi Ben,

I don't know. I have never seen another one. Have you seen others? I can't imagine that there would be some specific purpose to make one like this.
