Hello Jimmy,

I do like this punal/gunong! Looks like bone to me, too.
(More pics of this piece posted here .)

A close-up of the bolster area would be great. How do the details compare with this kris ?
(I don't want to suggest a close relationship but there seem to be some similarities.)

Regards,
Kai

Have Internet service at this moment. Can look at better once I get back into the USA but for now looks 1910s or earlier, and possibly Magundanao.
