Kris

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Kris. The handle is wrapped in a wavy dark-brown material resembling leather. A small red bead is visible near the base of the handle. The metal blade has a trumpet-shaped base and appears silver with a wavy pattern running along its length. The blade's tip tapers to a point. The background is a plain off-white color.
