Okay going back some. The axe I bought, the slightly out of focus picture is a rubbish tourist thing. The blade even having part of it formed by glued up sand and grit. However I am now the owner of an axe every bit as good if not better than the example in the Barbier-Mueller. I will show more of it when I have it.

Its here but did suffer in the shipping. The figure had broken at the feet
 Not the end of the world, stuck with PVA. Sadly visible but even museums have a mend it department. The figure with the double hornbill head and the human head all refer to headhunting activities. Unlikely to be a war axe but you could still persuade somebody to give up the will to live. However when viewed with reference to the two links. You can see why I paid high shipping cost, import duties and a customs charge. I must be mad http://holmes.anthropology.museum/asmat/axefull.html better link http://www.clarku.edu/~jborgatt/sale...ows260-277.pdf |
