Dha: Origin? Age?

The point pommel depicts lotus, a scared symbol for both Brahmin and Buddhist. There 's a theory that the lotus was evolved into round, conical and flower with many petals. (Just talked with Khun Bancha not long ago

)

Siamese and Thai 's interchangable for me. But I would prefer to associate the term Siamese with the pre 19th cent., when the Siam kingdom was Feudalism. And I will use Thai for the later era, when the boarder line between countries was firmly established (by English and French colonies).
