Yes, it is difficult to take decent pics in the Musium Radyapustaka. It is very badly lit, the weapons collection is in shallow glass fronted cases, if you use a flash the bounce obscures everything. To get decent pics you would need a tripod and time exposure. Still, there's a couple of bendho in the musium. Been there for 30 years to my knowledge. One very big one that legend has it was used to execute criminals. I'll be there myself again before long. I might load up with some superfast film and big aperture and see what I can do.Its an interesting enough collection, even forgetting the bendho.
Ferrylaki, why not just take a pic of the bendo that I'm sure you must have out back of the house? The form of old ones is just the same as the form of the modern ones you can buy in the market. Actually, they look like nothing so much as a European pruning hook.
