Thank you for your generous offer. Would you be willing to share what information you may have about kris/keris in Iban culture?

Hi Federico in the Iban culture was no place for an Kris the Kris was brought
in by the malay people who use the Iban to break up the country for them the typical kris handle from borneo comes from Bandlermasin Head hunters do not use a kris to get a head off |

The Iban are the Seadajaks there is no Dayak group that use kris as a weapon
it is more that the other people bring the Kris to Borneo like the malay people did in the early 15 cht Bruinei was in 1521 a large and wealthy town The Malay people must have mixed largely with the Kadayans ,melanuas and other coastal people Before Radja Brooke make his entrance in Borneo the malay s use the Iban |
