I have this mandau hilt with motifs that I have not seen before. On both sides of the hilt surface, there were several carvings that Look like little heads/skulls?
Are these merely whimsical decorations or are they also some form of cultural symbols/meanings like lemantek (leeches) or Aso? The hilt has a good patina and probably quite old. Can you fellow mandau lovers/experts give comments and also which dayak tribe/region this is from? Thanks in advance for your comments. |
