Archaic proto-, boy's- or miniature souvenir-kris?
I have just finished etching this strange kris.
It looks very old and a nice twist core showed up along the blade. But there is not a separate ganja and its size is inbetween a Javanese and a Balinese keris. This is the smallest Moro kris I have seen (so far). It's 52 cm (20 1/2") in scabbard and the blade is 39,5 cm (15 1/2"). What do you think it is? Michael |
