Arjan, many thanks for your answer
As Maurice also mentioned, it's awesome. Thus, your comments are truly much appreciated.
After reading your comments, I'm beginning to think that perhaps the reason why Bernard Sellato (author of
Hornbill and Dragon) did not attempt to explain the symbolism of the mandau hilt was precisely because it was a difficult subject.
We also hope that at your convenience, you can post pics from your collection.
Thanks again for your remarks ...
