"Market at Marahui"
Here's a photo taken in Marawi, Lanao del Sur in 1898. It is part of the Parker Hitt Photograph Collection, University of Michigan, Special Collections Library. Zoomed in, you will see a Moro kris pommel similar to that above. Last edited by F. de Luzon; 30th July 2017 at 03:05 PM. |

Here's a similar kris in my collection both with the handle design, and blade type, for comparison

Well, those are both gorgeous kris! The man straddling the word 'market' is also wearing an edged weapon - I do enjoy those pictures from back when the manner of costume varied widely across the globe.
