Uncle Dev aka Gibson Mastodon
The peghead shape parodies the inverted viol pattern used by Gibson and Paramount. This is an inverted rabab or sarode shape. The inlay combines features of the forewarned Ganesh and Uncle Dave Macon, who played a lot of classic banjo under the oldtime banner.

thanks! Yes that 'goodtime' peghead isn't even a useful rice paddle. Since you appreciate peghead beauty I will post a photo of the peghead of my J Clamp fretless. A bit later (might be days or weeks) I'll post something else that I hope everyone will enjoy. First I must locate the photos, or take them, and these pegheads are several hours south of me.
