I'm sure I saw a very similar sword years(?) ago but can't figure out where I put the pics/data (if any).

It sure is fancy enough to fit with the fantasy depiction of pieces from the Moro weapon plaques.

However, the elephant's face doesn't look Moro (nor Visayan/Luzon) to me - I'd guess at an Indonesian origin: Negara, Sulawesi, Sumatra...

Where's Michael when we need him?

Regards,
Kai
