You made off like a bandit. That's a big hunk of Ivory.

I have one similar.

Spunjer, very nice. Are the hilt rings made of gold over silver?

Kino, that bottom kris with the dots in the ivory look familiar.......

not sure, battara. i thought it's brass. i reckon it'd be another trip to your basement, huh?

kino, one thing i find peculiar is the circumference of the handle; it's smaller than your typical kris. the one you got, reminds me of this piece:

nnniiiice!

Battarra, It should look familiar, you made the top 2 replacement bands.
Great work as usual.

Spunjer, this ivory is not carved. It has 134 brass(?), dots peirced/inlaid
throughout the kakatua. BTW, that last photo, that is an amazing work
of art.

Thank you Kino - it was a pleasure.

Just to clarify (and raise the value of your piece a little

) the dots in the ivory are actually silver and not brass.

It is a large hunk of ivory as well and very nice.
