Dahb Sri (sword of good fortune) or Dahb Chai (sword of victory), Lanna, influenced by Chainese Dao.
May also called Dahb Ngao in modern day.
Dahb Sri is shorten from Dahb Sri Khan Chai (aks Khan Chai Sri) which is mythical sword in many Buddhism cultures.
This type of sword is for martial-ceremonial purpose. They mostly come in pair, held by foot soldiers who stand next to a horse riding lord/general in troop formation. Sorry for I cant find the pic at this moment.
