I located a bunch of references to such self decapitations in the kathAsaritsAgara and hitopadesha. Attached is a picture of the same from the cave in Mamallapuram in the vicinity of Chennai. it follows the pattern described in the KSS where a rAjpUt hero cuts his head as an offering to ambika or mahiShamardini.
