[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 240859, member: 2844"]Thanks. Don't know if it was my email, maybe there were more. I'll let you know if I hear from either him or the curator. Carmarthen being an important port 200+ years ago is no proof that the keris ended up in the river 200+ years ago. Keris are occasionally found in Dutch rivers, even if the nearby towns were not important ports. This gorgeous Madurese Daunan keris was found in Deventer in the river IJssel in 2009. Deventer was an important port in the days of the Hanseatic league, 12th-16th century, but this keris is probably no earlier than 19th century: [IMG]http://www.indoshop.nl/indisch_antiek/Geconverteerd%204.jpg[/IMG] Maybe this Madurese keris started acting up because the hilt was facing the wrong way;). If someone twisted my neck I'd be pretty upset too:punch::punch:.[/QUOTE]
