Feeding keris in museums

Hi Georgia. I can't currently find any written confirmation on this, but the practice of leaving offerrings of water and rice amongst other things for ones keris is, i believe, a common one. Keris are also regularly fed with incense and scented oils. I have never heard of any of these practices taking place in museums though.
Will your thesis be published anywhere. I am sure we would all love to see it.
