Sundang Kris -- Moro or otherwise?
4 Attachment(s)
Hello all!
Recently aqcuired this Kris and was wondering about its origins. Doesn't look Mindanao or Sulu to my (untrained and inexperienced) eyes. It does have a separate ganja. I'm guessing the baca-baca is white brass or some type of low grade silver. Would the "fish scale"-like pattern on the baca-baca or the shape of the kakatua pommel be any indication of its origins? |
Dimensions ? :)
Close up of the base of the blade ? A shot of the kakatua from behind maybe ? |
The hilt is a little less than 6 inches (15cm) And the Blade length is 22 inches (56cm)
Will post closeups asap :D |
The blade does look Moro influenced. However the hilt looks like it was added later and not original to the blade. I would say the same about the baca-baca.
On the blade, it might be Maguindanao, but I am not as sure looking at the forte. |
