I fully concur....that's an awesome contemporary piece that, IMHO shows that the evolution of ethnographic pieces has by no means come to an end.
Large portions af Africa are still just a stone's (no pun intended) throw away from their roots and I suspect that remote regions of Indonesia and New Guinea will likewise prove to be the same.
The hilt is reminiscent of a Bilao piece, and likely shares that linneage, correct?
Great find!
