Congratulations, such a beautiful piece! I used to consider arab shamshirs (syrian and najdi) to have the best looking hilts. My view is completely changed the more I study the Keris. I must say that the craftmanship in a keris is one of the most beautiful. Too bad that I am cowering from buying a keris, I still need more studying.
Sorry for the hijack but can you point out what makes a Keris a Moro piece then any other philipino tribe? I always get impressed by the expertise of our members when they identify a Keris right to the ethnicy and tribe. You guys are a treasure!
