Moro keris/kalis ID
8 Attachment(s)
Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can provide a little information on this keris/kalis; likely source of origin in the region, and approximate age? Both are of interest but especially the latter, as it might help make sense of the inscription on the label. Any and all insight much appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
I'd venture Maguindanao (Island of Mindanao) and mid 19c.
I'll let others correct me. |
I'd like to see a close up, in focus horizontal image of the label.
I think that's important in helping trace the history. How about length overall, blade, etc. That is a really nice example of an old Moro kris, and it doesn't look like it has had any recent 'restoration'. |
