Its here but did suffer in the shipping. The figure had broken at the feet

Not the end of the world, stuck with PVA. Sadly visible but even museums have a mend it department. The figure with the double hornbill head and the human head all refer to headhunting activities. Unlikely to be a war axe but you could still persuade somebody to give up the will to live. However when viewed with reference to the two links. You can see why I paid high shipping cost, import duties and a customs charge. I must be mad
