Above the blade there is a hilt with one upward facing and one downward facing head on each outer side. Faces have inlaid white opalescent shell eyes and mouths. Heads are edged with a sinuous raised line that crosses to form an X on the top and bottom hilt sides. Handle is cylindrical tapering outwards to the end with a flat top. Tied around the handle is a dark brown-black braided plant fibre string knotted at the end to form a loop.
