W!
Where do you come up with this stuff!?!?
This is a great piece. To me it looks like the plates are made of swassa (unless it is the lighting on silver)! This kris also looks like a Maguindanao piece to me. Great inlay and metal work!
I agree with your analysis regarding the anting-anting on that mid-20th century scabbard.
Thanks for posting such great pieces!
