The kris display.

Thanks for the photos Marcus. Can you tell us anymore about these? Were they the only display of keris at the palace? Were any attribution mentioned for the keris in the display? Please feel free to upload somewhat larger images as it is a bit hard to see much detail in these. :)

I agree with David.

Also, is this how keris are to be displayed?

Fine for a museum but otherwise I don't think so Jose.

IIRC in Java the keris is viewed/ judged pointing upwards with the kembang cacang etc. on the left and the greneng etc. on the right.

Sorry the originals are not so good due to glare from the glass cases. Maybe these are better.
My guide said that these were from "the finishing" in 1908.

Today I am in the Malay National museum. There are really beautiful pieces here. It will be a few days till I can post anything though, since I have a long trip home.
