Keris and Rembrandt

Here's another keris. I don't know who the artist is, but the style of the painting looks positively mid-1800s, Pre-Raphaelite.

interesting, while the hunting horn has a cord baldric to carry it, the keris appears to be the first recorded use of velcro

(i can't see what is holding it to it's human). it may be more apparent if viewing the original

. where did you see that one?

I was just informed that this is a fragment of the painting by William Holman Hunt - "A converted British Family Sheltering a Christian Priest from the Persecution of the Druids", 1850.
