***
Zoomorphic metal cutters with a more elaborate style are attribuited to the Newari people Katmandu area.
See for an example the 'coupe-lègumes en fer'
n. inventaire 71.1968.19.27 Musee du Quai Branly (Corneille Jest mission).
It's not difficult to think that this kind of metal items are present in all the nepalese areas with different styles still today never reportered.

MASK HIMALAYAN MASK SHERDUKPEN MASK QUEENS SHERDUKPEN MASQUE AJI LHAMU BELSIRI RIVER BALIPARA DISTRICT INDIA
Sherdukpen dancers in Assam, during meeting with J.P. Mills
Collection: Fürer-Haimendorf
Description:
These two figures represent queens in a Sherdukpen version of Aji Lhamu, a romance widely known in the
Tibetan Buddhist world, including the neighbouring Monpas. These dancers are performing for J. P. Mills, Adviser to
the Governor of Assam for Tribal Areas. Mills came to meet the Sherdukpen Sat Rajas ('Seven... Kings') at their winter
camp on the Belsiri River, east of Charduar, where they presented him with an honorary scarf. Each year Sherdukpens
(and other Arunachal tribes) came to Charduar, in Assam, to receive annual payments from the government. Charduar was
the headquarters of the Balipara Frontier Tract, which included most of the eastern districts of present-day Arunachal
Pradesh, where Sherdukpens (Akas, Mijis, Monpas and Buguns) live. Charduar ('Four-Door/Gate') was one of several duars
along the base of the eastern Himalayas where hill tribes came to transact business with the rulers of the plains.
Many tribes received an annual payment (posa) in goods and/or cash in return for not raiding villages in the plains.
For some tribes, these payments continued for several years even after 1947.

Dang-Deukhuri District is an Inner Terai district some 280 km west of Kathmandu in Rapti Zone of Nepal's Mid-Western Region.
Dang-Deukhuri covers an area of 2,955 km² with population (2001) of 462,380.
Tribhuwannagar (usually called Ghorahi) is the district's administrative center.
This district consists of the larger easterly and upstream portions of parallel Inner Terai valleys, Dang and Deukhuri,
plus enclosing ranges of hills and mountains. Downsteam, both valleys cross into Banke District, Bheri Zone.
To the south, the district borders Uttar Pradesh, India -- specifically Balarampur and Shravasti districts of Awadh.
Because the international border follows the southern edge of the outermost Siwalik foothills called the Dudhwa Range,
there is no Nepalese Outer Terai extending onto the main Ganges Plain in this district. The permeable geology of the
Siwaliks does not support moisture retention or soil development so they are covered with unproductive scrub forest.
