Originates from paragoda in Burma circa 15th century.
Hand carved with fine details. Each guard is in two parts assembled with screws strong enough to lift up to 1 ton.

Excavated from the ground. In the 18th century there was a large earthquake in the Arakan province, where many houses and temples were razed to the ground.
