I was visiting a friend a few days ago, whose hobby is collecting old photos of Indonesia, I noticed this one and copied it.
Dates from pre-WWII. |

Nice image.
Interesting to note that it appears to be a full size keris. |

Yeah, I thought the same David, one of the reasons I thought it was worth posting.
Probably borrowed Dad's keris for the occasion. |

I was recently in Kuala Lumpur and found a nice display of keris in the National Museum of Islamic Art. They had a few interesting illustrations to go with the keris, one depicting people who are working on keris sheath and one showing the various ways to wear a keris, in Malaysia and in Java

Very interesting photo. I would have expected the child to wear a smaller kris.
By the way, a nice collection of krisses is also to be found in the National Museum of Indonesia in Jakarta, and an even nicer one (but of mostly more recent krisses) in the Neka Museum in Ubud (thank you Alan for the tip! :-)) |

Did you visit the Museum Pusaka in the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) park in Jakarta? They use to show a large collection of krisses but not very well presented. ![]() Regards |
