Information:
This chopper was bought in Burma. It does not have a sharpened blade to it - the width of the curved piece is the same all along it, so it is not made for cutting, but perhaps for chopping. It is built in the same way that an ulu (for Inuit people) is in the north. The handle is brass and the "blade" is white metal (steel?). The handle is 3 1/8 inches long and 3/4 inch in diameter. The distance from the top of the handle to the bottom of the blade is 3 3/4 inches long. Less than 50 yrs old.
What do you think?:
Did Burma really have some cultural link with Inuit?
If it did, some of the ethnics of Burma must come from the same link. But only the DNAs of both people can prove this I guess. As the historians have claimed, some Burmese ethnics came from the north - including the major groups: Bama, Mon, Rakhine, Shan, etc. And also the Inuits are believed to be from Asia.
2. It could be culture exchange or spread occurred in a very ancient time!
