These are nice. Agree, Thai and Yunnan. I think the Thai sword has some good age too.

Am I looking at three different metals in the hilt, or different washes of the same metal?
 Nice dhas, both of them, IMO...

I would agree the 2nd one's origin could easily point to Yunnan, but I think it's better to be more broad. Based on it's obvious Chinese motifs, it could easily be from a Tai group found in Burma, Siam, or Laos along the Chinese border, where language, culture and clothing, etc is heavily Chinese influenced.
It's interesting to see the star shape on the side of the mouth of the scabbard...it almost looks like a "star of Anise" Last edited by Nathaniel; 28th February 2012 at 03:50 AM. |
