A VERY FINE KRIS, THERE ARE NOT MANY LIKE IT AROUND. THE WIRE WRAP ON THE GRIP IS UNUSUAL TOO IS IT SILVER WIRE OR JUST FIBER THAT LOOKS LIKE SILVER? A CLOSEUP OF THE HANDLE AND POMMEL WOULD BE NICE. THANKS

Very nice kris. I like the "basket weave" effect of the silver wrap on thehilt. This is not a unique example, but it is a very uncommon form of silver wire treatment on these swords. Ian. |
