Wonderful stuff, hope I'll get the chance to snap a few of these kerises on my next visit (not easy to linger when you have a wife hell bent on dragging you back to Orchard Road and a four year old in tow).
Dave, I wonder if the Sumatra exhibition catalogue is still available? I have a copy, though a friend told me it was sold out by the time he visited the ACM. My all-time favourite is the grand gold keris of the Johor-Riau-Lingga Sultanate, together with the Cogan. I wonder if the scions of that family (which I know have taken residence in Singapore) managed to catch a glimpse of their fabulous heirloom. |
