Obscure knife--Kota "kris"
One could be forgiven thinking this is a European or perhaps a Philippine dagger, but it actually comes from the Kota people of the Nilgiri Hills, Tamil Nadu in India. The picture is from the American Museum of Natural History, Division of Anthropology. The museum details are also attached.
Anyone have pictures of other weapons from this group? Ian . |
