Maguindanao nobility kris

[CharlesS]

This is a quality piece from top to bottom and certainly fair to attribute it to nobility.

The mounts are outstanding. The inlay is done with skill and is more elegant than is sometimes seen, quite artistic, most especially the central panel.

The blade, minus a few foraging flaws, is very well executed, with the fuller being particularly crisp.

Lovely, magnificent, piece and congrats!!
