I have been twice in Museu do Oriente; their basic collection doesn't include weapons.
The exhibition they are now showing is generaly about 'jewels' of the India route. No more than twelve weapons ( from Sri Lanka, India ...) belonging in the collection of Dr. Jorge Caravana are present, naturaly those more luxury ones decorated with gems, gold and silver, namely the Kastane in the poster,as have confirmed with himself. A very selective area
