Hello Ben,
Wow, that's also a very nice amulet! Does the plate show any typical Dayak motifs? Regards, Kai |

If there is a hole in the center of the brass plate it could maybe be a flattened opium pipe fitting?

Hi Ben. Nice mandau. Would it be possible to see a clear close-up of the coin at the base of the hilt. This is only the second time i have seen this (though admittedly my experience is limited), the other one is mine discussed in this thread:
