Lumad kris
3 Attachment(s)
Hello friends,
Just arrived from Puerto Princesa, Palawan. A lumad (Palawan'on) kris. OAL: 26.5 inches/ blade: 20.75 inches. Enjoy and kind regards, Yves Note: the rope on the hilt (typical of Palawan'on and lumad style). |
I believe it's a Lumad-appropriated Moro kris. Probably Maguindanao-made, late 1800s. I had one exactly like that, it was provenanced from a Maguindanao lineage. Your kris might have just passed hands, been traded, or migrated, hence its most recent status as Lumad-owned. But it's Moro, no question about it, even the dress. The true-blue Lumad-made kris doesn't have that build; it doesn't even have a gangya, and the dress is non-Moro.

I'm guessing this is also a Lumad kris?
I'll dig it out soon and post it with better pictures and dimensions. |

Under Cato’s classification, a Maranao blade with a Lumad hilt.

Not unusual to have a Moro blade in Lumad fittings.
Better pictures would be helpful. |
