Thank you Gustav, personally I don't recognize the kris from Dan as Minang (blade & wrongko) but I have no better alternative to propose
. We know that many Sumatran krisses are mixed pieces but this one seems original.
I visited West Sumatra (Padang and Bukittinggi) some years ago and saw a number of krisses there but do not remember a similar one. My only observation is that according to Jensen this style of wrongko is derived from the old Makassar/ Goa krisses so it should logically be found in Bugis influenced areas of Sumatra or Malaysia, i.e. costal areas.
The input from our Singapore members would be welcome.
Regards
