CAMBODIAN DHA for COMMENT

Now that is an unusual dha. The steel and wood have a great patina on them. Clearly the odd handle is either original or a very old retro-fit. The knuckle-bow of course isn't typical, but its not unheard of. The ones that I have seen (3 or 4) did not have a certain enough provenance to enable any conclusion as to the who/what/where/when/why of the odd handle. I do have to say that you see some of the most eccentric dha from Cambodia. I think it was a real melting pot of styles.
