			Welcome to our little forum! The section of number 2 is a stylized aso, or dog-dragon. It is of the face with the teeth. |

			Right, José. Towards the bottom of #1 is an even clearer Aso to be seen.

			From what little can be seen, #1 seems considerably older with also better quality carvings than #2. Godfried, if you decide to post more pics, I'd suggest to start dedicated threads on a single piece each for more focused discussions. Comparative threads are fine, too, and serve different purposes (like getting an overview or discussing specific details). Regards, Kai |

			Someone here once told me it is common for them to buy plain grips and scabbards from the makers, and carve them to suit themselves. Some are better than others. MIne, the owner started a few leech outlines on the upper panel, then gave up.    Last edited by kronckew; 3rd November 2021 at 07:31 AM. |
