so much thanks. Could they be arrows for a crossbow? Note that the handle's curvature on the broad kris (pardon me while I wipe some drool) is "backward" as we have seen before on some other kris sundang and other large k(e)ris, but only/mainly in specific cultural settings; Visayan and I don't know if any decision ever came out of the discussion of the leaf blade kris with the antler handle (are there two of them? I know we've seen it multiple times, but maybe even not on the new forum). Speculation/explanation has been that it is more suited to a Visayan thrusting style, which seems to be true.
