A Konyak Naga chopper, probably an agricultural tool. The hilt resembles the work of the Shan who reside nearby in N.E Assam.

A somewhat controversial Kuki Naga Tukhemmi Axe. The blade is almost certainly Kuki Naga, but the pole haft more strongly resembles that of a mak from much farther east and south in S.E. Asia. How blade met haft is a mystery.

A Sema (Sumi, Zeme) Naga Dao, collected from the Sema, but provably of Kachin origin and obtained in trade or raid. This is a finer piece of steel than typically found in other Naga weapons.

This is a Tukhemmi ("Axe" or "Hatchet") from Assam c. 1900 - 1940, probably originating with the Sema, Ao, or Chang Naga tribes. Only these tribes used red hair for decoration (attached to pommel of the hilt).

It is useful to remember that the Naga were not good with iron work, much less steel. If the quality of the blade looks pretty good to you, it is likely not Naga in origin. -DaveA |

Unfortunately, Barry, all the data on this site appears to have been lost because the archived materials were on a now defunct web site. Nothing left of the text, pictures, videos or sound recordings. A great pity because the information collected was of high academic quality.
Another reminder of why we insist that folks upload their pictures to this site so that the rich pictorial records are preserved. Ian Quote:
