The kudi or kujang was the typical weapon in Sunda and not the kris, so the Sundanese erected a monument for the kujang.

the 'artist' got the grip on the kampilan backwards.

immortalized forever. i wonder how many historians it took.

Q: how many historians does it take to change a light bulb?
A: none. they're still arguing about the stamps on the original,
the materials used and the methods of manufacturing.

moot point because the archaeologists won't let them remove
the old one until it is radio-carbon dated and the government
has declared it a site of significant historical interest, and is in
the process of writing a 500 page set of regulations on how to
repair anything in the site which the historians are also arguing
with as being inaccurate and using too many modern tools.

the collectors are refusing to discuss it as it is less than 100 years old.

the re-enactors are trying to sneak in and replace it with a 100 watt equivalent LED.

ironic in that this particular statue is in the Province of Sultan Kudarat, a Maguindanao province. notice too, that the dagger (which i'm assuming is a kris) has an unusual T-top pommel...
