Dear Maureen,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be an Indonesian Kris dagger with a total length of 31/2 inches. This is Kris probably made by the Moro people. It has a typical flamed-shaped blade and the hilt with his abstracted carved wooded shape is typical for the Moro kris. This piece was probably made in the late 19th or early 20th century.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 400 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
George
