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....

What I know from the newspapers and from an employee at the museum is that the collection belongs to the city (gemeente) of Delft.

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
