Dha from Brunei

Seems to be made from the tip of a sabre....sha'sh'qa? The sheath certainly doesn't look SE Asian, either.

Can't add anything meaningful to this one. An odd mix of styles and geographic influences.

Mark, there were several dha that did not attract an opening bid. Not a strong showing by dha guys, and a couple were knocked down below current market prices. But when you do the current exchange rate from Euros to dollars, and add on the auctioneer's fee of 20% or more, then the price shown does not come out quite so cheap as it seems.
