Keris that are jewels

Always a frustration trying to take decent pictures in museums, especially when objects ae kept behind glass and with that "anti-picture" reflex light.
I intended to bring pictures of a few keris that are shown at Lisbon Museu do Oriente, in an exhibition dedicatd to jewels from the India (discoveries) route and what i got, after deleting most of them, is as little as posted here.
Remember that the examples exhibited belong to the jewel category, weapons coming second.
I hope it was worth trying
