Default Song Dynasty style shoudao

Chinese minorities often show stylistic elements from much earlier periods in Chinese history. Here is a Yi minority chopper that is almost identical to Song shoudao that are otherwise only found in period art as depicted on Thomas Chen's website.

I suspect the shoudao is the originator of many choppers of similar size.
