<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 7471789, member: 2844&quot;]I was asked to lecture on Indonesian keris for a Dutch-Indonesian centre in Holland. Unfortunately the funding for the centre stopped, so no lecture.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am still writing my book on the spiritual and cultural background of Javanese and Madurese keris, with photos from my own collection. Health issues have thrown a spanner in the works several times, but I&#039;ll get there some time in the distant future.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am also considering writing a modest booklet of my own kohl bottle collection, because there is so little information out there.</p><p>So far only one book has been written exclusively on kohl bottles, &quot;Paint it Black&quot; by fellow Dutchie Jolanda Bos. An excellent book, but it focuses on Africa, along with a few Middle Eastern bottles.</p><p>My collection is fairly comprehensive, from Mauritania in the west to Indonesia in the east. Showing photos with a very short ID shouldn&#039;t be as &#039;brain intensive&#039; as the keris book, and it could help other collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
