This came from the newspaper and television just this morning.
Indonesia Custom hold kerises and spear , keris warangka sended via post from
florida US for someone in Pamulang region South Jakarta, Indonesia.
If only those kerises are really worthy, I feel sorry for who ever own those kerises.
Ancient heritage object like statue and high quality kerises became a very popular in Indonesia, since the case of a museum officer from Solo know as Mbah Hadi became a suspect for selling ancient statue from RadyaPustaka Museum.

You say these objects were stopped coming into Indonesia. Do they say why? I don't understand why they would stop these items from coming back into the country.

The air port custom suspected a post delivery which did not mention an identification about its contain. There were X-ray examination and at last the package was opened. Kerises and spear were found. The custom suspect those kerises has a high historical value .

Here come the latest news about the keris. those kerises belong to Martin Lubis alias RM Notohardjo.those kerises send by Rien Notohardjo from USA to her son
Martin Lubis alias RM Notohardjo as a collection items.
So, A mother sending a collection belong to his beloved son.
Maybe the mistake was She did not write a proper description of the package .
