kris Maranao named

Hi,
A recent acquisition: a Maranao kris with a person's name engraved. The seller claimed this piece to be of Maguindanao (age: approx 70 years old). But looking at the 'elephant part' of the kris it points to it being of Maranao origin (pls correct me if im wrong). We'll try to research the name on the blade. Kind regards, Yves |
The blade and dress point to Maguindanao origin I think. The space enclosed by the elephant trunk is circular and the trunk is horizontal. This usually suggests a Maguindanao origin. The absence of side extensions on the sampir is mostly a Maguindanao trait. The minimalist shape of the kakatua pommel is also seen on some post WWII Maguindanao kris. I agree with your estimate of age.
