true. i overlooked the warning description word 'decorative'. i had my doubts even as i pulled the trigger on the payment. funny thing is i found a very similar but more honestly described one from an antiques dealer in india for just about 1/3 the cost of the decorator. the vendor describes it as an antique head showing good signs of age re-hafted some time later with a lacquered wood haft 54 cm. (21 in). it also may be a repo, but it looks a lot more functional & old than the UK decorator one, which will be locked away in rm. 101.
