Atypical kris for comment

That's a really sweet piece with some fine attention to detail in the application of the Kapit.

Very atypical as you note, most are as this one is from the Met collection

You note the plate floats, in that it is resin afixed, but is this Kapit section that floats actually now part of the gonjo, and there is but an incised line across the kapit to complete the gonjo line, or are these two fully separate sections, one forge welded, the other resin afixed?
