Another Moro Jungayyan Kriss
Recently I traded for a Moro kriss and kampillan. The kampillan will appear in a separate thread.
Here is the nice jungayyan kriss. The piece is in remarkable condition and was stunning after a mild clean up. The bolster to the pommel is real silver, as is the scabbard ring. You can see in the last pic that the original scabbard had been meticulously carved with channels to incorporate a rattan binding. This clever work left the rattan less exposed, and less likely to get broken. It was all gone when I got it, so I restored the rattan myself. Nice to find one in such good shape and well cared for! Dimensions: Overall length: 29in. Blade length: 22in. Blade width at mid point: 1.5in. Pommel length from top to bottom: 7in. |
