I have an unmounted kris blade with similar decoration but it does not have a separate gangya, suggesting mid-20th C work. I've also seen a panabas blade so decorated, and on the kampilan shown above. So the style got around a bit. Here is another budiak with similar decoration, said to be Sulu in origin, that I found on the web. . |
