It appears as the fine example in the video was offered on Ebay only weeks ago.

As it did not sell, I'm not sure if it would be correct to post a link to the Ebay auction or include images as it might be relisted?

AS I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT ALL THIS I MAY ASK A SILLY QUESTION. PERHAPS THE LION MENTIONED IS ACTUALLY THE BARONG WHICH IS A LION LIKE BEING REPRESENTING GOOD AGAINST RAGDA THE EVIL WITCH IN BALI. WAS THE BARONG PRESENT IN CEYLON AND INDIA IN ANCIENT TIMES?

Salaams tribalarms ! Well it was listed as sold or gone to lunch or... anyway I was told it was purchased by the Sri Lankan National Museum...and anyway its a film. And a very knowledgeable and informative bit of kit indeed for our esteemed library... its a must see... A pictures worth a thousand words but a film... must be worth a lot more ! See that Makara Hilt !!

Yes, it is wise not to include them.
