These come from the Naga of India. not exactly ethnographic weapons, but might be of interest to people who study the Naga weapons.

The pillar is from a wealthy man's home. It features and celebrates a massive a feast he gave with the sacrifice of seven buffalo. It also has three human trophy heads (wood) and some kind of dog-like animal head (also wood) at the top. It is 10' 8" tall and 34" wide.

The other piece is a sort of were leopard from a Naga Community house. I also took a picture with direct flash to let you see details. It is 71" high.

Welcome your comments.
