i'm not sure how early iconic references go with burmese swords, but i stumbled across these a short while ago. i hope they are relatively unknown, and of some use.
they are of the late 15thC, and show a dha-shaped blade with no guard, and a dha-shaped grip.
the guys are warriors of mara, from the shwegugyi temple (erected in 1476).
