Description from the seller
Rare Antique Moro Kris / Kalis - 13 Luk Curved Blade - Sulu / Mindanao, Philippines - ca. 1900
DESCRIPTION:
Offered: a beautiful and authentic antique Moro Kris, locally known as Kalis. The iconic weapon and status symbol of the Moro warriors from the Sulu Archipelago and Mindanao.
This is not a modern tourist replica, but an authentic piece with a beautifully worn patina.
Details:
• Blade: Nicely forged 13 luk (13 waves) blade with pronounced gangya. Clear forging marks and a lovely dark patina of age. The blade shows light age cracks (spitting) consistent with its age, underscoring authenticity.
• Grip: Traditional wooden handle in the classic 'kakatoe-kop' shape.
• Fitted with a grip wrapped in rattan and aluminum bands, a distinctive repair/reinforcement from the early 20th century.
• Scabbard: Original two-part warangka scabbard of hardwood with a deep, dark patina.
A very decorative and historical piece with much character, perfect for the advanced collector of Filipino and Southeast Asian weapons.
Condition: In good antique condition given its age. The blade is secure, the scabbard closes well. Minor signs of use and pitting on the steel as expected for a piece this aged. See photos for an accurate impression of condition.
Dimensions:
Total length: 64 cm
Blade length: 47 cm
Weight: 805 g
A chance to add an authentic Moro warrior Kris to your collection.
