Incidentally, the mention of the respected name of Pande Wayan Suteja Neka has prompted me to make mention of something.
I think we all know about the Keris display at the Neka Museum in Ubud. Well, I was there last week and i found that this display has now been expanded into the other side of the first floor space.
This new addition contains only old keris, all in Balinese dress. The various keris blades identified as Balinese is quite an education.
For those who do not yet know, Pande Neka is a very successful art dealer, museum owner, and promoter of Balinese culture --- amongst other things --- and a highly respected member of the Ubud art coterie.
His new addition is well worth a visit, the more you think you might know, the more you will be amazed.
