August the Strong Dresden Sinhala Polearms

Hello

Does any have any photos or literature references with images to the pair of 18th century Sinhala polearms in the collection of August the Strong now in the Dresden Kunstkammer collection.

I’ve never seen them published but would welcome if anyone has the correct reference to share.

In the 19th century they were the subject of cast iron copies. One now found in the Met Collection.
