Hi Flavio, (and others)
Don't wanna be a spoil here, but the thread had a certain aim

Quote:
When collecting Borneo Dayak parang one thing that thrills me are the variations of different faces, or full figures, on the top side of the hilt common among some tribes.
That's why I hoped that we all could share our "faces" so we could together create a huge reference image bank of these variations and enjoy them as pieces of art.
For this reason I think it would be great if this thread was pictures only, no comments or questions here either on origin or of appreciation.
And only pictures of dayak parang were the top of the hilt is dominated by a face or sitting figure, none of the other hilt variations here please.

This weekend I managed to find time to take pictures of the latest acquisitions. Among the mandaus I found a couple of familiar faces for this gallery...

The small figure is a loose inlay, original to the handle.
See also the small face on the side of the handle.
