Moro Kris Silver Dots and Inlay

Spunjer · 10th February 2013, 02:24 AM

I have to wait until i get home to see the enlarged version of this, but from what i can see from my mobile phone, it appears that the bottom beak of the chicken, as well as that one curly feather at the bottom of the tail are missing. Either these broke off, or it's a different version altogether.

I agree with Charles on the fragility of the ivory with all those silver dot wire inlays. Would more easily crack between dots due to subtle swelling and contracting as the ivory "breathes".

I am trying to figure out how to get pictures off the link to post - no luck so far.

Wish I had this one - but I don't have anywhere near the money.

Ok here are some better(?) close ups:

BTW - I'm thinking that a curl nor a tail decoration existed.

yup, you're right. i'm looking at it as we speak on my desktop. i wish they would've given the size of the pommel. i don't think it's the same size as the one you got from the show last year. what do you think?
