|
other sub-ethnic Malays also recognize this type of weapon in their culture, including the people
|
9845_372
|
of South Sumatra. Although it has the same shape, the South Sumatra kris has its own
|
9845_373

characteristics. The number of curves or curves is always an odd number between 7 and 13 with a

9845_374
|
wide angle. That is why the typical South Sumatra kris tends to be longer and taper. Skin is a
