[ferrylaki]

This came from the newspaper and television just this morning.
Indonesia Custom hold kerises and spear , keris warangka sended via post from
florida US for someone in Pamulang region South Jakarta, Indonesia.
If only those kerises are really worthy, I feel sorry for who ever own those kerises.
Ancient heritage object like statue and high quality kerises became a very popular in Indonesia, since the case of a museum officer from Solo know as Mbah Hadi became a suspect for selling ancient statue from RadyaPustaka Museum.

You say these objects were stopped coming into Indonesia. Do they say why? I don't understand why they would stop these items from coming back into the country.
