I LIKE THIS PICTURE AND SO WILL THE DHA GUYS. NOTE TWO SEEM TO HAVE DHA AND SEVERAL HAVE THE STRANGE AX WHICH I THINK IS REFERRED TO AS A MAK. THERE WAS AN OLD POST WITH A PICTURE OF WARRIORS ON HORSE BACK AND SOME HAD A STRANGE WEAPON. I HAD ONE AND POSTED THE PICTURE AND I THINK MARK IDENTIFIED IT AS A MAK. I SEARCHED BUT COULD NOT FIND THE POST FOR REFRENCE. ITS NICE TO SEE THE TRIBESMEN AND HOW THEY CARRIED THEM BALANCED ON THEIR SHOULDER.

I HAVE A MAK AND A SMOKING PIPE FROM THIS GROUP.
