with all those serpents, i'd say offhand that it is a maranaw kris. i mean just look at their houses (torogan), with the nagas all over those floor beam extensions (panolong).

would you say too that the kris really has maranaw traits? thanks.

yeah, definitely maranao.
similarity on the panolong and the sorsoran:

it's uncanny. thanks for the pic, bro

And it is definitely Maranao okir work. Even more beautiful up close.

Great piece...looks like it might be a big 'un too.....

thanks, ron! since i'm not that familiar with the finer points of analyzing a kris, i have 'moar'

queries. based on the rendition of the 'jaw', can we also say that the kris indeed exhibits maranaw traits? attached is a guide which perhaps you yourself prepared for robert fulton? thanks again, bro
