Bill I saw that one last week and thought of you lol

. I would guess 1930-40 as far as age goes. It looks like an art deco period bronze.

Just happened upon it with one minute and 40 seconds to go! Still got into a bid and counterbid with someone.

Will ask Arjan if he knows how old, but suspect that Lew is right. Deco period 1930's or so.

Very nice Bill.

It looks like he once held something in his other hand as well.

Hello Bill,

This jimpul looks like it has been made for ritual use.

I wonder when a miniture shield or miniature bundel of skulls will be listed

Best regards,
Willem

here another with a suberb inlayed blade,
the blade has very nice scrollwork (and a repair) the scabbard has also the same knots as a "real" one.
