New Moro Kris Sheaths and handles for Comments

Detlef has identified the facilitator - it certainly doesn't look like it ever was supposed to represent Moro style. However, it's also not a Malay style (nor motifs) that I recognize. Not knowing who was the actual artisan doing these fittings, I'd guess that this is more of a modern art approach.

While I do love the Sulu scabbard type with flared tip, this example's tip leaves something to be desired IMHO...

Regards,
Kai

Here is a link to what I think is a good modern Moro restoration;

And there was discussion on what should have been, but IMHO it's good.
