Congrats,

Nice deep honey colour, often chased by serious collectors.

I have one pictured below, it has been sitting so long that only the bottom of the shaft now shows that nice colour showing, though constant rubbing and handling would return it but I am leaving it as.
The fibre loop, great to see it still attached.
Would I be right in saying the loop should be higher towards to head and it drapes over the arm when carried in the crook of the arm like a royal septre?
If all goes well I should have another on the way in the next week.
Lew, I am sure you remember the Ula, I recall you asked a question about it but never placed a bid?

Again, a great find.
