I am going to sound so bombastic but I really do think that the Museum are wrong. The weapons and people from the N.E.Frontier are more than just Nagaland and dao's or dha's. To me this is clearly related to both, from that vast area N.India, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Assam. Areas with pockets of people as isolated and materially poor, in our perceptions as Congo Tribes, especially if you think that this piece may well be 19th century.
