!["The kris [kalis, in Tausug (Sulu) dialect] is the most famous Moro weapon. Variations are found in every Moro tribe and it was a key symbol of a man’s status and rank in society as well as being a powerful talisman. Kris blades are wide at the base, double-edged, and can be waved, half-waved half-straight, or straight (straight blades were more practical in combat). Older kris had fewer waves and the waves were deeper and wider." From <http://www.arscives.com/historysteel/philippines.introduction.htm>
The kris shown here has the so-called tulip bud shaped pommel. The same kris is believed to be from the late-19th to early-20th century. The scabbard is made of two loose pieces of soft wood, secured together by strips of brass.
Overall sword length: 682 mm (26.9 inches); Blade length: 552 mm (21.7 inches); blade is extra thick than the usual krises.
