Thumbs up

THE TOP ITEM LOOKS LIKE A CEREMONIAL DRUM FROM NEW GUINEA
SECOND ITEM A NAGA DAO SWORD AND SCABBARD
THIRD A GILE SWORD CARRIED BY THE DANKIL PEOPLE FOUND IN DJBOUTI, ETHIOPIA AND SOMALIA.
#4. A FANG KNIFE WITH LIZZARD SKIN SCABBARD
#5. SCIMITAR (MAMBELI) CARRIED BY BOA TRIBE IN ZAIRE OR A SIMULAR SWORD CARRIED BY THE AZANDE TRIBE.
THE NAGA SWORD, THE FANG KNIFE AND THE SCIMITAR ARE ESPECIALLY NICE.

Default Kachin not Naga?

I believe that the "Naga Dao" is in fact a Kachin Dao from Burma.
