A very large Burmese dha
As the last dha I posted got a good reaction I thought members might enjoy this one as well. Quite a different animal to the petite one I last posted... this is 113cm overall and over 1kg in weight. I've included a pic to show the size difference with a few more 'typical' examples.
The blade is quite wide, fullered on the spine and in very good condition. The hilt is unusual in that the diameter is much greater than most handles, a very nicely executed lotus bud pommel.
