Ariel, I'm a bit confused by the gross amount of finish on this hilt; could it be hiding something not so nice ?

Theoretically yes, but I doubt it. Look at the line between the carving and the beak: it is very elaborate, precise and elegant. Tough to imagine that the carver spent so much energy on this part of the handle, but carved the rest of it so poorly that he had to hide the ugliness.
