Come on guys. You know the attribute of Bayu is a container of Amrita. See

http://www.mythfolklore.net/india/en...dia/amrita.htm

The figure seems to be missing the required crown for Bayu and has a mixed up head piece which resembles Bima's top knot hair work rather than Bayu's more elaborate styling.

Since it is a new piece I guess it might be a combination of specific portions of traditional hilts rather than a particular figure or possibly a representation of a Brahamn priest.

Good analysis Mick. Maybe there is a reason why i first wrote Bima when i meant Bayu. My sub-conscience was confused by the synthesis.

Guys, I know nothing about Hindu mythology, but the object in my guys' hand looks more like a calestial mirror.
