"An ivory hilted Burmese dah or commonly, dha. It is fitted with a high quality but later associated blade, probably from the Shan region. The blade of typical profile, narrow at the base and widening near the tip. It has a precisely ground wide fuller on each side that is accentuated by a thin engraved line. The spine of the blade is ridged, with a stepped section near the tip, a rather rare feature on these.

The most spectacular part of this dha is of course the handle. It's made of a single piece of ivory, finely cut with a kneeling figure in its base, and scrolling vines all-around. On the back of the kneeling figure stands yet another figure, situated in the center of the grip, completely cut loose on all sides. The figure holds a club of some sorts, its face is as finely articulated as the kneeling figure. According to a seasoned collector in this field, the design of the silver sleeve shows it was made for a native official and was not commissioned by the British East India Company."

aha very nice
very very nice indeed
I almost don't know if I would approve of a use being made of the ivory of the beasts that haved died naturally

perhaps
if they live long full lives, then should their tusks just always be stored away or put on display and not tool into some manner of art?

>Ivory Work in Burma

"A fascinating little monograph is written on the subject, published in 1901, by Pratt. According to Pratt, the only towns in 1901 that still worked ivory were Mawlamyine and Pyinmana in present-day Myanmar. Only one carver was active in Pyinmana, and by far the best work was done in the coastal city of Mawlamyine where in 1901 three families were still active in the trade.2 Interesting, the same survey states that these artifacts were always made on order, never in anticipation of demand.

Pratt continues to describe how some of the ivory was bought from Shan traders or from working elephants that had died a natural death or broke a tusk.3 The total ivory carving business in Mwlamyine in 1901 made use of only 8-12 pairs of tusks.

Interestingly, he mentions the smaller tools used around this time are pieces of umbrella ribs that they sharpen on a stone to turn then into little chisels."
