Dear friends,
This sale (Czerny's auction N° 96) took place on Friday 13th December and many interesting krisses were auctioned. The most striking one was this very nice replica royal kris from Sulawesi or Sumbawa which fetched 22,000 Euros! it supposedly dates from end 19th/ beginning 20th century, and the dress is made from gilt metal (silver?). What do you think?
Regards
