I wondered about it being ceremonial in that sense too, but certainly I cannot imagine it is any form of sacrificial blade from a predominately Buddhist culture. At the same time, the motifs of the ivory hilt seem to indicate unfortunate souls caught up in some form of foliage netting, being slowly dragged up and devoured by the monster at the hilt's pommel. So, there is certainly some violence in the story line.

Mark, is there any hope of getting that poster copied?

Thanks for your input.
