Rootball is handle - 3.2cm across base approx - may have had Ferule / end cap at tip looks open / unfinished and has a recessed rim. From top - looks like panels and arches - may represent a building with flowers cascading down.
Upper figure appears to be hurling rock down onto lower figure. The upper figure has no helmet but appears tyo wear Samurai style armour with short sword tucked in belt. Lower figure wears Samurai helmet with horns? Appears to be pointing behind him? May be some story behind scene?Several vertical cracks to wood but dont appear to be an issue - nothing loose.
