 Is the carving of scandinavian mythos? It is wonderful. The amulet looks like Thors hammer  Thank you for sharing Dan |

amulet
hello aso,
the double spiral is pretty common in asia but also outside. when it is seen on a indonesian item and especially in silver my first guess is timor region. There are numerous different styles in that region but very very often with this type of spiral. Unfortunatly i dont have any references for this piece from books. good luck! greetingd Ron |

Never though there would be one  Ps. Maurice, I also would not know what the amulet is. Could it be part of a nechlace or some kind of jewelery ? Nice hilt by the way. Would like some more poctures of the hilt. Best regards, Willem |
