Tale of two Krises

[Spunjer]

as i've mentioned on my original post, jose, the handle (pommel and rings) is brass, hence my assumption about this particular piece as being Maguindanao in origin, being their close proximity with the T'boli. it wouldn't surprise me if the panday was T'boli himself

another thing i forgot to mention are the geometric pattern on the blade. very similar to the design found on T'boli kefilans and toks...
