Cord Wrap Kris

[David]

The blade looks very probably late 19th-early 20th century, possibly Maguindanao. The hilt and the wrap seem untraditional and may have been made by someone outside of the culture, or at least someone inexperienced or unskilled at make a kakatau hilt. The wood does seem to have some age to it though. Hard to say when it was added.
