Hello all,
I recently came across this fantastic example under the Wikipedia description for Trident. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tr...th_century.JPG Description reads: "This group of spears has examples of very fine Burmese decoration, the butts and ferrules overlaid with silver gilt, the heads chiselled and gilt. Each individual blade was provided with a lacquered scabbard." I was wondering if any of our members are near Leeds or if visiting could take (if permitted) some more photos of the display as the description reads "group of spears". I'm sure we would be interesting to all to see ![]() Also if any other Burmese or Thai weapons, I love to see pictures of them as well!! Many thanks in advanced! Nathaniel |

Hi Nathaniel,
A great post, thanks! It seems most studio shots known shows Naga spears in the hands of Shan warriors. An avenue I have not explored but would like to know more about the trade or raid of the regions and tribes. Perhaps you can post your wonderful old spears too :-) Gav |

Dear Nathaniel,
I have taken pictures of all of the cabinets in the Oriental gallery, and have been systematically publishing them on my blog. I haven't had chance to show the ones you mention on my site, so here they are. Email me for bigger images if you need them. Regards, Runjeet |
