Help ID'ing 3 Kris

stilgar · 11th August 2021, 02:19 PM

Hi all,

I got these three at auction and would love to learn more about them if anyone can help?

The large one looks like Barong so I am guessing it is Balinese. It seems very large for a traditional Kris so maybe made for the tourist market? But it does appear well made, to my untrained eye.

The middle Kris has a very rough blade as if it has been cast and not worked?

The smallest kris has a sheave with a carving of a hairy mythical cat like creature I dont recognise
