DEAR FRIENDS, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS:

http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

I HAVE CONTACTED THE SELLER FOR BETTER PICS BUT HE TELLS ME THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE DIGITAL CAMERA. IS THE SECOND THAT HE SELL. IS GOOD OR NOT? THANK YOU

I LIKE IT AND IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD ONE TO ME, OF COURSE THE PICTURES LEAVE A LOT TO BE DESIRED.UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T READ THE DESCRIPTION SO I CAN'T COMMENT ON ITS ACCURACY BUT I WOULD GIVE THE AMOUNT IT IS LISTED AT, IF IT IS 55 EURO AND NOT 5500 EURO WHICH WOULD BE CRAZY UNLESS IT HAS SUPERB PROVENANCE FROM A FAMOUS KING OR QUEEN OR SOME SUCH PERSON.

He is a very lucky fellow to have more than one like this to sell. I have only dipped a toe in these waters; the one I have although a lot more simple does have some patina!!!! There is something new about these in my opinion.

Looks like a Kalinga datu (chieftain) ceremonial head axe. The bands seem to be made of hammered and pierced designed brass (pictures are aweful

). A variant that I have not seen before. Very nice.
