New Tajong with copper beak

Glad that's enough for you to render your opinion on the quality and age, as I asked.
The biggest problem is that the varnish is so thick that the crispness of carving is obscured by it. You can see on some pics that there were at least 2 and possibly more layers. I cannot even see the material of the handle. Since there are some cracks at the back of it, I assume it is wood. But what kind, I do not know.
