Description: | Wavy-blade sword/kris. The blade, of watered steel, has a strong median ridge on each side. The ridges have a pair of narrow deep grooves. There is a large piece broken off one edge of the blade. The hilt is a roughly cylindrical piece of wood, out of keeping with the workmanship of the rest of the weapon and probably not original. The sheath is made from two pieces of wood carefully glued together. At the top is a separate piece of wood on which the wide part of the kris' blade rests. One side of it is broken. | Source: | Manchester Museum | Identifier: | mm.emu.ecatalogue.humanities.156870 | Go to resource |
