Salaams Napoleon...Just picking up on
"anything gold mounted, gem encrusted" Do you refer to the Kastane? If so, I think you mean to post this on
The Sinhalese Kastane: Its Development, Decoration and Symbolism...I am not certain what other weapons (not counting the Piha Kheata) would fall into that category..For some stunning pictures of Kastane
Pinterest does some good pictures and also some of our own museum visiting members have taken great pictures in various venues like The Wallace Collection ~ just tap into
Forum Library.
Good luck on your continued research. Thanks
