Yes those are naga, and what a wonderful blade at that!

Would you post pictures of the whole think (including hilt)?

Kino, nice one too - pommel looks Samal, though need a better picture of it to tell for sure.

Great dragons and centipedes!
Here is one of mine we discussed in an earlier thread.
Seems like centipedes are attracted to shandigans?

I have this lovely 19th century kris with talismatic incriptions. I'd like to post some pics of the kris and ask for some opinions. but I do not know how.

This is my first post. Hope you can assist.

Thanks

As a complete outsider on these weapons I will take a guess and since I was looking at war canoes it does appear that what could be a "from that region" craft with the curved bows marked and of catamaran form with warriors down each flank and the central planking or walkway with the chief navigator and captain/leader …. the concept needs a seascape and I think a few inches down the blade you have just that.. but out of frame... at the stern more warriors shown . a fully armed and manned war canoe is my suggestion...

The war canoe best fitting that description is shown below and may be Maori but it gets across my point.
