Another Blade For ID Please

Hi All,

The hilt of this blade is bronze (I think) with some figure motif. Perhaps some form of Beko from the Patani / Kelantan region?

Would appreciate any feedback and comments.

Cheers.

Spent 30years making wax patterns for castings. All I can say is the handle is sourced from a poorly made mould and a nasty lost wax cast in brass. It also looks new.

Also looks Balinese to me.

this is a bethok kris, in my opinion

It is one of this model made bethoks made to suggest why are ancient. I am afraid this is a not particularly well made one
