6. Four daos, including two relatively rare spade-shaped examples (see cover of Julian Jacobs’ book for comparable example).

7. Unadorned daos common to several Naga groups.

8. Khasi sword at bottom, Kachin dao above, then Lepcha ban from Sikkim, and Kukhri at top. Hilt of kora and Indian swords just visible.
