A M S T E R D A M
During my short stay in Amsterdam later, in the end of this month, I am eager to see again, the Tropen Museum. Especially, its keris collection.. How is it like now? Are there more "keris places" worth to see in this Netherlands capital? Thank you, in advance...

The tropenmuseum is really nice to hang out. A lot of the Dutch colonialism can be see there.
Also a cool New Guinea exposition they have there. But be aware that from the huge online database they have, only a tip is exhibited for public. But if you also like tribal art, it is really a great museum..... You can also go to the antique district of Amsterdam. You have to be in the area around the "Spiegelgracht". There are a lot of galleries, where you also can find some tribal art. Nice to see, but for me impossible to buy things there because of the high prices......

Not that good because of the little light, not allowing flashlight, and the glass which is in front of the pieces.......but images are tolerable... |

@Maurice, thanks a lot for your info. Do kerises in this 'collections online' are still exhibited? Nice balinese keris, and also -- if I'm not mistaken -- a Riau keris. Photos of people wearing kerises are also interesting...

I started a thread with pictures of weapons I made, which are exhibited for public in the Tropenmuseum.
I made the thread in the "Ethnographic Weapons" section, because there are also other pieces as kerisses to admire, which forumites who collect other edged weapons would like to see. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...d=1#post105877 Maurice Last edited by Maurice; 11th August 2010 at 09:53 AM. |

Dear Michel AbdulRahman Van 't Hoff,
Really, excellent collections of Tropenmuseum. Thanks a lot, for your kindness. A couple of almost similar kerises you may see also at the collection of Museum Gajah, or National Museum of Jakarta in Indonesia. (Some of the Sumatran kerises now are exhibited at Singapore Civilization Museum, until October 2010. I think Kai Wee and Alamshah could tell us, the "Sumatran Exhibition" there too...) Really like to see the Tropenmuseum collection, soon.... GANJAWULUNG |

Dear Ganja,
No problem, your welcome. I hope the other forumites also like the big pics. Did you read my replie on Facebook? I wil send you my adress and phone number. The thing is maybe like other museums too, the Tropenmuseum only have maybe 1 to 2% of what they have on display in the museum. Personaly i totaly disslike that, but what have i to say about that? regards, Ab |

KNAUD Kris
Thanks, David,
I found interesting story on this interesting Charles Knaud's kris... The images of "wayang" in the bottom part of the blade reminds me to some reliefs of Sukuh and Cetho temples in the eastern part of Solo, Central Java. The specific wayang reliefs dated back to the end of Majapahit era... On Sukuh Temple or Candi Sukuh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candi_Sukuh On Sukuh Reliefs http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candi_Sukuh On Cetho Temple of Candi Cetho http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candi_Cetho On Tantric Buddhism influence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajraya...Southeast_Asia On Knaud kris as David just posted http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...86046-1%29.jpg GANJAWULUNG Last edited by ganjawulung; 15th August 2010 at 01:59 PM. |

@ferry, thanks for the attention. With pleasure, I will share with you the fotos in Jakarta...
@Jean, yes, it was on my mind too. But due to my limited duration of stay in Holland this time (most of the time in Den Haag and Amsterdam), I am afraid I could not go there... Anyway, thanks for the info Jean. GANJAWULUNG |

Ganjawulung,
How long do you stay here in Holland? Traveling from city to city doesn't take much time here. After all Holland is a small country. Japanese tourists do Europe in 2 weeks and Holland in 1 day

Yes,
The collections of kerises on display at Tropenmuseum, are really great. Although -- according to a source -- only about 5 persen among tens of museum's collection are on display. And yes, one of the most unique piece is the Knaught keris on the first floor... Unfortunately, one of the best known keris museum curator Mr David van Duuren is not there anymore since two months ago. The museum said, Mr Van Duuren has been retired from his old job. I could not find or contact this gentleman. Thanks to you, Hans Voys (the silent member of this warung?) for helping me to get there, and of course to Kulbuntet or Michel AbdulRahman Van't Hoff who are staying not far from the museum...
