Its beautiful. The daubs of red paint around the bands of the handle are interesting, as this same red is found on Kachin dha (and I've seen it on a couple Bama/Shan style dha as well). Read somewhere about the significance of the red color, but can't for the life of me remember what it was.
On this one you cannot see the jaw bone tied to the should strap (behind the scabbard), but it is painted red like the grip.
