I can't send now a detail of the eye (photocamera discharged), but looking carefully eyelashes are carved and below there is a smooth surface, but, IMO the only way to attach something is glueing it.
Why You say is a female figure ? Pheraps the large abdome = pregnant ? Paolo |

Okay, possibly a little horn loss under one/both eyes ?
(I see the new pics) Perhaps they bulged originally and they have fallen or broken off . I think Lombok in origin; a feeling .  I wonder if this hilt represents a metamorphosis in process as it is so vague in form except on the back where it is very detailed . The forming of a Kocet Kocetan ?  We can only guess what the carver was thinking . Last edited by Rick; 15th March 2012 at 07:02 PM. |
