Example of "arrowhead" on a newer kris for examination
Hi here are some pictures I have been meaning to add to this thread for a while. To me it shows an arrowhead feature on a kris that I would guess was not older than the last quarter or the nineteenth century if not from the first quartet of the 20thor later. One side of the blade appears to me to have a separate gangya. It currently possesses one asang asang to it looks like it was made for two. The blade was stored in cosomoline and the shape of the trunk, tusk, and lips are a bit obscured.
