Very interesting. I have not seen these before, and if the date is correct, they show a very early representation of a dha. It is funny that the demonic hosts seem to be the best source of actual contemporary weapons depictions. I have seen a number of daab being carried by Mara's minions in temple paintings from Thailand (much later, though). I guess the artists had freer rein in depicting the bad guys.
