This strange "Filipino" Dha

Ian · 31st December 2017, 04:06 PM

In more than 40 years of traveling frequently to the Philippines and visiting many national and regional museums, I have not come across any antique dha or daab. One does occasionally find a contemporary Thai daab in antique shops, similar to the one shown at the top of this thread.

Perhaps some of our members who are residents of the Philippines can throw more light on the presence of antique dha/daab within their country, but my experience has been unsuccessful in finding examples (and I was looking for them).
