Institution Gavin?

You mean like jail?

It has the right to life, just as you do.

As for skills, well, there are ways.

The point I have been trying to make is that this keris needs to brought to the position where it has the chance to survive for a few more hundred years. You only have a loan of it, and if you do not make it desirable while you have the opportunity to do so, it might not even see the end of this century.

This is what we do with old keris:- we try to extend their lives.

Museums lock them up in controlled conditions and kill them.

People do not.
