Very cool;yours is the most prevalent form, but there are other variations of heads that I have seen.Most of these in the United States were brought back during the Vietnam war, but they are not that common here;maybe that will change with the continued opening of trade with various S.E. countries.
I acquired my first one many years ago and was surprised to see some used as weapons in one of the great classical (my opinion),Ong Bak movies. |

they were used by mounted troops, here is a photo of a temple wall with the two horsemen on the left using maks. from the thread here 'evolution of the mak' at http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=maks
it shows some of the more weaponised versions as well. i gather they were also popular with elephant troops in the longer versions... |
