Hello Nik,

Why did you hide this from us?

Quite nice carving!


Quote:
here's the other side of scabbard with mother of pearl (?) decoration (two pieces missing. Is this kind of scabbard typical of mid 20th century style and possibly original to the blade ?.
This scabbard type is 20th century but doesn't help much in narrowing things down for this kris, I guess.


Quote:
The top part of the scabbard did not have rattan(?) bindings. For a complete scabbard, does the binding continue up or this part is decorated in some other fashion?
Judging from the patina of the wood, I'd guess that the rattan was covering it fully.

Regards,
Kai
