Hi Lotfy,
Like Spiral, I was also thinking along the lines of some kind of processed/resin/composite type material.

Absolutely mate.
Although your pictoral examples are all middle aged men with weapons, so they do perpetuate the steryotype somewhat ;)

Hi Detlef.
Wow that's a very nicely furnished example.

Thought this was quite an interesting discovery.
It seems some of our ancestors were more 'human' than we previously thought.

Hi again,
Shimmer's examples show what I'm thinking of. I've seen them being carried at the head of processions and festivals etc.
