Excellent collection Gavin.
I am intrigued by the weapon one-up from bottom left. Is that a Dao with a secondary knife ? Cheers Roy |

Intriguing it is and yes, that is a secondary knife...it was one of those "I had to have pieces", just like the Kachin Dao with the carved, gilt and red lac scabbard across from it...The entire ensemble is just beautiful. I'll start at the top. The hair is very fine Human, not the typical goat hair seen in these regions. The gold string work at the base of each hair bundle is stunning and the method of attachment in to the bamboo shaft is top notch. The red and gold rattan binding at the blade end in also very nice. The blade is a quality but simply forged blade, a thick and very sharp Naga "axe" head. The Sheath is what I consider English leather, thick top quality military leather, perfectly stitched and nice and simply tooled...designed with a Sam Browne in mind is my thoughts. The knife on the front is I feel, styled on a Fairbairn Sykes dagger but made by native hands. Its grip is covered in plaited leather...its a solid functional piece. I suspect it was a bespoke piece made for a military officer who would have had to have spent some quality time with these people during and perhaps after WWII. Gavin |

A FINE COLLECTION OF NAGA WEAPONS AND REGALIA WITH SOME RARE EXAMPLES. I DO WONDER WHY ITS IN THE MISCELLANEOUS FORUM RATHER THAN THE ETHNOGRAPHIC.

This one was languishing over in Ethnographic Miscellania and I think it belongs more properly in this Forum as it deals with Naga weapons. Some very nice pics. Ian.

A Kabui Naga Dao, OAL 25 1/2 inch, with copper forged into the blade. This is a weapon version of the much smaller Kabui Naga Dao used in their ceremonial dancing.

A Konyak Naga chopper, probably an agricultural tool. The hilt resembles the work of the Shan who reside nearby in N.E Assam.

A somewhat controversial Kuki Naga Tukhemmi Axe. The blade is almost certainly Kuki Naga, but the pole haft more strongly resembles that of a mak from much farther east and south in S.E. Asia. How blade met haft is a mystery.

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).

It is useful to remember that the Naga were not good with iron work, much less steel. If the quality of the blade looks pretty good to you, it is likely not Naga in origin. -DaveA |

Unfortunately, Barry, all the data on this site appears to have been lost because the archived materials were on a now defunct web site. Nothing left of the text, pictures, videos or sound recordings. A great pity because the information collected was of high academic quality.
Another reminder of why we insist that folks upload their pictures to this site so that the rich pictorial records are preserved. Ian Quote:
