Dear All,
something a bit unusual. At 59,4 cm quite huge. It has 6 bars at the base of blade, the highest number I have seen on Kris so far, and 4 bars until the tip. The welding is done remarkably well. Besides that it has two unusual features that distinguish it from the rather uniform group of similar Maguindanao blades - a slightly different fullering at the base (it concerns a feature called Tikel Alis in Javanese Keris terminology); and the end of the middle panel - it's closed like an gothic arch, quite near to the tip. The curl at the end of "elephants trunk" is done very finely. |
