I've seen so many old photocopied pictures of pihas with wildly different variations and looks, but here's one I've actually picked up that is a little different spin on the already rare recurve style grip. This one is actually pierced through, yet somewhat simple compared to many other examples. Sadly, it's missing the band that completed the pommel, but it's still lovely design. Man, those Pattal Hattara (Royal Workshop) guys were artists.
