Morokris with strange features

Maurice · 15th September 2009, 08:14 AM

Thank you all for your input.

Kai ofcourse I made some photo's of the gangya. But the people who know me better would have a laugh, cause they know also that of the 5 photo's I make, 4 are worthloss. Unfortunately that is the case on the gangya pictures.

The gangya looked very well made and was seperate. Those seperate pieces were definately belonging together.
The blade was not a very big one, I would rather say a bit like the morokris that came along with my kampilan, and which I shipped to you afterwards.

Sorry I can't give an answer on your ferrule question.

But if the pommel and the blade belong together???

Maurice, where is this "kris". It is behind glass so i am assuming it is in a museum somewhere. If so, what info does the museum give on it?

David, it was at the tribal art fair "Parcours des Mondes" in Paris. It was at a very small gallery which was closed all day when present. Therefore I coudn't ask any questions.

We can't see the very tip in these photos Maurice. Did it have a little hook extension like a kampilan?

That because the tip was behind the window frame. It had no protrusion like the kampilan.
