Greetings folks,
Here is a dha I got from a friend. The hilt is carved ivory with a silver onion pommel and ferrule. The blade appears to have some differential heat treatment. Regarding the scabbard, it is wood covered with very thin silver with silver filigree. I am thinking this is Burmese, but not sure if it is Shan or not. Also, the carved figures on the ivory hilt - are they demons? What are they? (see last picture). Finally, I am thinking this is late 19th century - what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance. |
