mandau with atypical hilt

Green,

For the hair tufts cavity i believe i see at the end of the protrusion of the hilt something as a peg used to secure the hair tufts in the cavity. At the top of the hilt I'm pretty sure, although on the pictures not visible, there will be a cavity for a hair tuft as well.
Although the hilt doesn't look unusual to me either i think you've got yourself a very nice mandau.
By the way, not every mandau hilt is decorated with hair tufts.
