Solo Boy with keris

[Battara]

Alan, are the museum pictures on your site of newer keris examples also?

[A. G. Maisey]

Most of them are, in the pics I've published maybe only one or two are older keris. Actually, I take very little notice of this sort of thing, and I made no notes any of times I've been to this museum. There is one very notable old keris in the museum, but I have not published a photo of it.

Many thanks Alan.

Thank you Alan for the photos! Your photos are so much better than mine!

I think I have seen all the pieces from your photos in the museum.

And they still are very well maintained so for me was a real delight to admire them (thank you once again for telling me about this museum!).

My only frustration was that there was no comprehensive book with the kerises, except a very small one I already had and a big and nice one that was only in Indonesian.

Hello Marius,
The most interesting krisses from the Neka Museum collection are shown & described in their nice book "Bali Keris Bersejarah", and the text is not very important not to say rather confusing IMO....

--- and that is apart from accuracy.

But yeah, the pics are very good, and you don't really need to be able to understand much BI to understand the captions
