DESCRIPTION
A very rare Bhutanese patag with a double fullered blade.


A group of Bhutanese chiefs of Tibetan origin. Circa 1860's. Note the patag in his hand.

CONCLUSION
A nice representative example of an early Bhutanese patag with heavy, well-forged blade that shows lots of activity. A good addition to any ethnographic arms collection.
