Unusual Jimpul

When I was in Singapore this Summer I found this quite unusual variation of an old style West Kalimantan Iban Jimpul hanging in Adni's gallery. Unfortunately the top of the hilt was broken but with some help from Arjan (thanks!!!) it's now restored to what we think was it's original form.
