I love the look of that khukri Berkley...Himalayan Imports have a replica model don't they?

My avatar is a nice Sudanese arm dagger, one of my new favourite blades.

Mine, is one of the Warriors from a 'Benin bronze'.....decorative and symbollic bronze plaques that were attached to the walls of the King's Palace. A facinating culture.....often overlooked.

This particular 'individual' stood out ......a character I could relate to

.....And no I do not have a dis-proportional sized head

Mine is a statuette from the tribe of congo. My ex-girlfriend told me that in his expression she sometimes saw my expression

Mine is a shoulder-part of winged horseman armor

Mine is an old Wayang golek puppet with a moustache. I especially like it because it also wears a keris in its belt.

A Burmese "bilu" (ogre), from a dha scabbard. The decoration on the sword itself shows the story of Princess Bedayi, or Bedi, in which an ogress named Sandamukhi figures, but there doesn't seem to be an ogre in the story, so I'm not sure why he's on the scabbard. There is an ogress at the same position on the opposite side of the scabbard, at any rate.
