Sword (Kris)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sheathed sword with a wooden handle and scabbard. The scabbard is made of wood, with a long, thin, cylindrical body and a curved top that covers the base of the handle. The handle is also made of wood and features a curved shape at the top. The handle and scabbard are both stained a dark brown color. The scabbard has a smooth surface with some visible scratches and marks. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The overall design and style of the sword and scabbard suggest they may be of Southeast Asian origin, possibly Indonesian or Malaysian. The sword is referred to as a Kris.
