Those must be drinking horns; I was a bit puzzled about their use initially.

The handwritten caption on this photo seems to identify these men as Kurds. Is this incorrect then?

Came across this depiction of Baboa people wearing their traditional short swords or knives on an ethnographic arms dealer's site.

Those are some huge bows in proportion to their height!

Changdao, the Aeta people are very short. Men were commonly under five feet tall, but with improved nutrition their average height has increased a few inches since the early 1900s. They are still among the smallest demographic groups in the Philippines.

Adding some photos of Sardinian weapons being carried/worn. These are mostly photos of people wearing the iconic Sardinian leppa but a few are photos of people holding the unique Sardinian style of miquelet musket. Most of these I found on Pinterest, while some were found on Russian sites comparing Sardinian swords to Shashkas. I tried to find the highest quality versions of these photos that I could, but some of these photos are still a bit poor in that regard.
