Kris with Sheath

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Kris with Sheath depicts two weapons. The weapon on the left has a long, thin, cylindrical handle made of brass or bronze with darker splotches. The top of the handle is covered with a wide brown leather sheath with curving sides that taper to a point on the right. The sheath appears cracked and worn. The weapon on the right has a long, thin blade that tapers to a point at the bottom. The blade is dark-colored and appears to be made of metal. The handle of the weapon on the right features a small carved figure with a rounded head. The figure is wearing what appears to be a robe. The background of the image is a light gray color.
