Another weapon in art from the AMNH

As I recall (its been a few years), they are from Elizabeth Moore's excavations at Halin. I know that the first couple times I posted about them I described them as being from Bagan, because Bob Hudson sent them to me, but I'm pretty sure they are from Halin. I might be able to go back to my e-mails and check that.

By the way, I did not post a second photo showing the backs of the handles, where it is seen that they are formed by wrapping a sheet of bronze rather than being cast. You can clearly see the seem where the ends join.
