			Many thanks to those of you who replied to me. I appreciate it greatly and apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I believed that it would send me an email when someone replied, but it did not.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	If by the base you are referring to the top part of the hilt, then I believe it is a dark wood material! If you would like me to attach more specific photos of the blade, I would be happy to do that! Anything to get some more information on the Kris. Thank you for the suggestions on cleaning it. I will start off with a toothbrush and slowly see if I can remove some of the staining. If I can ask one more question, why are there holes in the grip of the Kris? Were those intentional? Many thanks for your thoughts and time again.  |
