More about dha/daab nomenclature

As always, many thanks for your input, Puff. Can you direct us to any Thai art (bas relief or otherwise) depicting weapons as a primary or secondary subject?

I'm aware of some 17thc. paintings with the 10 lives of the Buddha as the subject which show a pretty good selection of Ayutthaya period swords. Ruel Macaraeg, a poster on another forum, has shared excellent artwork, including portraits showing dress and side arms.

Unfortunatly, however, my search of western sources for this artwork has been exhausted.

Best,
Andrew
