A Sema (Sumi, Zeme) Naga Dao, collected from the Sema, but provably of Kachin origin and obtained in trade or raid. This is a finer piece of steel than typically found in other Naga weapons.

This is a Tukhemmi ("Axe" or "Hatchet") from Assam c. 1900 - 1940, probably originating with the Sema, Ao, or Chang Naga tribes. Only these tribes used red hair for decoration (attached to pommel of the hilt).
