greeting Chregu

huge Moro Keris 75cm
laminated blade
Ivory handle, unfortunately a little broken

gutes Mandau
leider ist der Griff gebrochen

Igorot head axe?

dajak bamboo box

VERY NICE ! I LIKE THE CLASSIC FORM OF HANDLE ON THE PEDANG (I SAW THIS MATERIAL REFERED TO AS HAMSTER BONE RECENTLY :p ) ITS A SHAME THE HAMSTER BONE HANDLE WAS DAMAGED ON THE KRIS. WHICH DAYAK TRIBE USES THE SHORT COLORED HAIR AND CARVED ANTLER OR BONE ON THE SCABBARD.? I THINK THE AX MAY BE AFRICAN BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS AS YOU SAY.

Hi Chregu,
Could be wrong as this is not my area of collecting, but I think that the bamboo container is probably to house blow pipe darts.

Nice piso gading from the Batak, good to have the scabbard with it!

Hi Chregu,

nice kris with jungayyan ivory hilt, a shame that the front piece is broken!

Detlef

Hi Chregu,

I am unsure if it is from the Dayak, could be from Timor or even from North Luzon. :shrug: It isn't a blow dart container, to small.

Hi Detlef,
Maybe so but then no dimensions have been given............

Hi Stu,

it's simple not high enough to seen by the cap. I have owned some and handled some more. Also the usual belt clip is missing.

Detlef

Just as a point of stickler clarification in reference to the title of this thread, i don't believe that the Philippines can be considered "Indonesian" so the kris and the Igorot axe would need a different classification. ;)

Here is a thread that discusses a very similar style mandau :

OK As I said , not my area of collecting. Just a wild guess on my part.

Oh that thread! :)

Here a picture of some of my dart quivers, and the smaller bamboo containers that could have been used for tobacco or betel nut.

hello together

many thanks to your assessments. the little box was attached to the Mandau, I have to take pictures away, so I think she is one of them.
nice Sunday evening, I wish you.
