Not the oldest carving in this thread, but unmistakenly a head.

Not so old, as you already knew, but a very nice hilt.
It´s quite rare with an Y-hilt that also has a face carving, IMHO.

The combination of this Y shaped hilt and a human face is new to me too.
With teh present USD/Eur rates it came relatively cheap.

It is definately not very old, but considereing the style of the carving I think it must have been a piece for actual use, and not a tourist item yet

Arjan,

The top hilt is unusal.
Is it newer or just rare?
Does the rest of the mandau also carry unusual features?

Maurice, that´s a mean looking hilt figure
