Nobility Moro/Malay kris in silver dress

Ian · Yesterday, 12:20 PM

Sajen and Gustav,

Thank you both for your excellent comments and perspectives on this sword. i have not seen another similar pendok on a Moro kris, and your comments strongly suggest that the dress of this sword is not primarily Moro (although there are some similar elements—as noted above). Presumably, the dress reflected the tastes of the (eventual) owner. Would either of you care to speculate, based on the styles identified, where that owner may have resided?

Regards, Ian.
