Hello all,
I have acquired another axe.

Ex British collection. Top Museum quality. Used to take heads on headhunting raids in Naga Land. Called Dao decorated with cane and dyed goat's hair. This style balance and patina are best museum quality."
Approx 72cm/28"

Any comments will be most appreciated,
thanks
