Hello Dan,
Congrats, very nice pieces! How was the provenance established? AFAIK, a parasol is associated with nobility/royalty. Most likely a better motif than most mushrooms...  Regards, Kai |

Nice Blade
Nice blade Dan,
As I have handled this piece first hand and had a good play with it, I must say it is very nice. The precission in the quality of the watered balde is amazing, super clean crisp lines and from it's movement through the air, it is a seriously deadly weapon. My question is though, other than an image of this exact style Kora with the protruding spine near the tip and large "elephant ear" that is in the copy of Stones Glossary I have here, I don't have any other references to point to this exact style. BBJW, what reference material could I search for that indicates this as Indian as you have indicated, I would be interested in reading further. regards Gav |
