Looks like it even if the side motifs are a bit unusual on this hilt.
Could they have been carved later? Michael |

Hello Ben & Michael,
it looks like the antler was a tad too small for the job - I guess this could have influenced the carving/design? Regards, Kai |

Hi Ben,
It's a cool and spooky head anyway and interesting with the side motifs too. Could we see the rest of it? Michael |

I have something similar where also the antler seems too small for the job.
It is from The 'Willem 't Hart' collection.  |
