Amate....topknot in most tribes, peoples, etc., it is a sign of honor. In a lot of carvings there is not room for a topknot, but your carving looks all the more awesome for having it...balance-style and you can stick a feather or comb in it. Goggle "topknot Maori" and you will get why it should stay. Always fun coming here and seeing your work !
