Today I made my last visit to Nusantara.
Normally I never take pictures at musea, but in this case I wanted a small memory of the museum. here some pictures of the keris display. |

Yes a pity Willem it all ends this way!
Do you happen to have some clear images of the Borneo display you would like to share? the images I have of my last visit are not sharp because of the reflection in the glass in front of it! Especially I would be interested to have a very clear image of the headtrophee which was at display there.... Maurice |

Thanks for the photos Willem. This is indeed a shame and i can only hope that the pieces are well cared for and perhaps find their way into another venue for display.
BTW, does anyone have any more info on that keris with the squatting gentleman in the skull cap. What an unusual blade and wonderfully carved hilt! If the museum is looking for a new caretaker for that beauty all they have to do is ask.

I made a few pictures of Borneo objects on display. (not the entire display  )But they are not keris related and not even weapon related. Headtrophee... well let me think. Would that be the one from the Piers legacy Check your mail

Also the description of the keris only mentiones when they where donated to the museum. No mention of a private owner. But I would be happy if their is a private owner. Otherwise such collections disappear into depots, never to be seen again. Best regards, Willem |
