Interesting motifs on the sheath, Chinese influenced lucky coins.
The little flowers to the top, similar are also seen within the old French Indo China borders.... Gav |

Thanks Detlef,
Interesting also to see that the inner part of the lucky coin motif would sit within the geometric design of the "Catmoon" flower arrangement. Gavin |

I forget, is it the blade form that makes this a binangon?
On another note, this is a common motif on this island - seen it on upland Panay pieces as well (pieces with long noses). |
