So I received the sword the other day and I have found some interesting things. The hilt is very large for my hands, I can put two hands on the grip with my pinkys hanging off of the ears (thankfully not broken in transit).

The edge bevel is very steep, so steep that at first I thought it was completely blunt. I also can clearly see the designs on the blade which I could not make out from the auction house photos.

Some of the shapes on the blade that I thought were just abstract blobs are actually animal heads. One is easily recognizable as an elephant, the second one could be a large cat or maybe a wolf and the last one is a serpentine animal with the head of the previous large cat or wolf.

The opposite side of the blade with the side profile face giving the nasty grin has a full humanoid figure above it. I hope someone can recognize this figure's attire in spite of my terrible pictures.
