North Indian axe?

Tim Simmons · 28th April 2007, 09:34 PM

I won this today on ebay

the price was not too bad. The postage is a little high, that could have stopped other people from trying there luck. That said it is from some sort of on line charity shop. I am feeling sure that it is not the dreaded repro axe we have all fallen for

. This picture will have to do untill I get it.

Not sure about that Lew from this picture

. I think this may be from Orissa the "Khond" or "Kondh" I am trying to find other examples and more info.

The head is on the right way - that is the style of this particular (and parculiar) axe.

Gentlemen, I'm not eager to go down this road again...

By all means, continue the discussion of the axe, of course. Just remember to stay on topic.
