No photos available but, instead...
Pity there were no photographers in the 16th century, David; but there were painters and chroniclers to leave us images ... and history
 .By the way ... It is admittable that, the Javanese features & attire as in the watercolor executed by a naive artist of the period, do not correspond as whole to reality but, the use and purpose of the keris is as precise as described by Tomé Pires (1465-1540) and Fernão Lopes de Castanheda (1500-1559) .
