Outstanding, Brian! Thank you for bringing this forward.

I agree the period reference does sound like a square-tipped kachin dha. I feel confident (through art research) that 16th century Siam saw dha use, but this is the only primary source I've personally heard of regarding Burmese dha from that period.

Are these letters published?

Best,
Andrew
