Like Shahrial just said, this exhibition will be held in conjunction with "Senjata Pusaka Bugis" book launch. Yes, it could be translated as "Bugis Weapon Heritage" -- Written by Ahmad Ubbe (you may find in facebook too, Abe Ubbe) and two other colleagues, Andi M Irvan Zulfikar and a local 'pamong praja' Dray Vibrianto Senewe. Actually, Mr Ubbe is a doctorate degree in Hukum Adat Bugis (Bugis Adat Law) and a Bugis keris passionate for couple of years. His research on some old lontara scripts in old Bugis dialect, IMHO, is fascinating. It should be valuable for the development of keris "science" in the future...
Some interesting explanations on the philosophy of pamor motifs according to Bugis lontara scripts -- are of the most valuable info of this book.
@Detlef, yes, there will be a catalogue too for this exhibition, in Bahasa Indonesia of course...
