It was in a store on Quinpool Rd. called Finer Things Antiques. Depending on when you were there they used to be on the corner of Agricola & Almon until just a few years ago.
Many years back i did pick up a touristy contemporary Madurese keris from the Capt. of the Picton Castle in their home port of Lunenburg, NS. If you don't know, that's a 3-masted tall ship that sails around the world every year on educational voyages. Since Bali is one of their ports of call they often brought back a keris or two to stock their storefront in Lunenburg, though they were always rather cheap and a bit touristy. They have since closed that storefront. I did enjoy the one i got from the Capt. for a time because it had been his personal possession and had sailed with him many times around the world, but i finally traded it a few years back to a friend for a Toraja war vest.
