Hello, this is my first moro and i have trade it with another member: i'm very happy and i think that is a very beauty!!

Ian · 23rd March 2006, 11:19 PM

Congratulations -- beware, these are addictve.

Perhaps a Yakan example judging from the scabbard and small metal ferrule on the hilt. Nice wrap to the hilt.

I'm sure others will have more comments.

Ian.

It's a funny world I see you are selling off some of your African and you are buying Moro I on the other had are selling my Moro stuff and am buying African. This is very Yin Yang. I love Italian food so does this mean you like kosher deli

( a nice pastrami sandwich on rye with a Dr. Browns cream soda)lol. Btw it's a very nice kris congrats. That's Brooklyn humor

Boys, if you need a superlative pastrami sandwich with a new pickle (and, of course, Dr. Brown's cream soda or cherry soda), you have to come to Ann Arbor: I'll take you to Zingerman's. According to all the culinary magazines, this is the best deli in the US.
Lew, Brooklyn takes a distant, very distant, second.... It is like a rusty African knife or a touristy barong to a Damascus Shashka

No offense meant.
On the second thought.... yes, it WAS meant

A VERY NICE WAY TO START A COLLECTION OF MORO KRIS

, VERY NICE WIRE WORK ON THE GRIP AND A VERY DISTINTIVE SCABBARD I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE QUITE LIKE IT. THE USE OF DIFFERENT COLORS OF FIBER TO FORM A PATTERN LOOKS ALMOST DAYAK, THEY USE DIFFERENT COLORS AND PATTERNS IN THEIR BASKETS. THEY SOMETIMES USE INTRICATE FIBER KNOTS TO HOLD THEIR SCABBARDS TOGETHER AND WITH PITCH TO HOLD COLORED TUFTS OF HAIR ON THEIR SCABBARDS. A INTERESTING AND ATTRACTIVE FIRST MORO KRIS WITH POSSIBLE NON PHILIPPINE INFLUENCES

DELI FOOD

REAL FOOD IS BBQ, STEAK, FRIED CHICKEN AND CATFISH!!

Sorry to digress, but a believe a gauntlet has been dropped (note how i try to tie my digression into weapons terminology

)
The idea that you can find better kosher deli in Ann Arbor than you can in NYC is like buying a Moro keris that's been made in.......well....Ann Arbor.

And i really don't mean any offense. Just the facts, ma'am.

Wanted to up this thread in particular because of the weaving done on the Scabbard. Like Ian, I wonder if this could be a Yakan piece -- at least in terms of the weaving on the scabbard, but that brings me to a question:

I am aware that the Yakans preferred the Pira over other blades, and that there are several examples of Yakan-made Barung (I assume due to the expansion of the Sulu Sultanate and the settling of the Bajau people in Basilan).... But were the Yakan ever known to use Kris? It had just occured to me that I have not seen a Yakan Kris nor do I know if they exist. (potentially aside from this piece, but it could very well just be a re-binding of a kris from elsewhere like Sulu)

If they do exist, would this piece be an example of a Yakan Kris? If not, what features would they have to typify them as originating from Yakan in terms of manufacture? And if they did not exist at all aside from recycling Sulu kris, why did the Kris not catch on in Basilan amonst the Yakans like the Barung did?
