Dear All,

During the "new era" (kamardikan) keris exhibition in Bentara Budaya, Jakarta on August 2008, we have some special keris guests, Mrs & Mr Bronwen and Garrett Solyom (as you may see in the picture below). Of course, the authors of "The World of the Javanese Keris" (1978) gave a keris lecture to the Jakarta audience. Interesting lecture.

One month earlier, Dietrich Drescher also came to Bentara Budaya -- an art Centre owned by a daily newspaper -- informal meeting with some Jakarta keris lovers. And of course, a "special" wayang gift for the German gentleman who once encouraged some "sleeping" keris-maker families in Jawa, to get up and making keris again...
