Filipino Wooden kris.

Rafngard · 7th December 2018, 07:02 PM

Well, if no one has seen one like this, let me ask these questions.
Does the inlay work seem Filipino, from a style perspective?
If so, from where in the Philippines? While it matches the profile rather closely of an antique moro kris (even being shorter in length than a lot of modern training equipment) but the inlay doesn't seem very Moro to my (largely untrained) eyes.

Am I right in thinking that the mother of pearl indicates WWII or later?

Thanks,
Leif
