I HAVE SEEN AND HANDLED THIS AX A FEW YEARS BACK AT THE ETHINOGRAPHIC ART SHOW IN SANTA FE NEW MEXICO. ITS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE SEEN LIKE IT SO IS LIKELY THE SAME ONE. I THINK THERE IS A PICTURE OF IT IN THE SELLERS EXHIBIT IN AN OLD POST ABOUT THE SANTA FE SHOW. (IT APEARED TO ME TO BE FAIRLY CONSISTANT IN AGE SO IF IT WAS PUT TOGETHER IT WAS A LONG WHILE BACK JUST MY OPINION)
THE SELLER I MET AT THE SHOW IS VERY KNOWLEGABLE AND ONLY SELLS TOP QUALITY ITEMS. HE HAS SOME OF THE BEST MANDAUS I HAVE EVER SEEN. I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED TALKING TO HIM AND LOOKING AT HIS ITEMS BUT HE IS IN A PRICE RANGE WELL ABOVE MY PAY GRADE. IF I COULD JUST COME INTO SOME SERIOUS MONEY I WOULD LOOK HIM UP.

ITS NICE TO SEE SOME GOOD PICTURES OF IT AGAIN.
