What a great piece! Congrats Ron!
I have seen these scabbard mouths before on lowlander pieces. This one is complete and well carved. Very nice indeed! |

Interesting motifs on the sheath, Chinese influenced lucky coins.
The little flowers to the top, similar are also seen within the old French Indo China borders.... Gav |
