Iron Hilt Dha
This dha is not in great condition, but it has been stabilised, leaving a blackened blade and (iron?) hilt. I think someone has polished the brass studs rather than them being a later addition. No pommel cap. Incised bands of decoration on the hilt. Sadly no scabbard. No idea of the age.
Achang maybe, or Kachin?
