I would be very grateful if you could give infos or show pictures on the weapons and tools used by the Yao/Mien people, a minority spread in the hills of China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand.
I have seen once a taoist sword they use for shamanic ceremonies, but I don't remember very well how it looks. Does anybody have pictures to show ?
Any reference to share ?
Thanks
