Question for info

[David]

Well, this isn't exactly what you want, but perhaps it will still add to the discussion.

Thanks David. This portrait might be an artist impression of what Pangeran Diponegoro looked like, or dressed like.

Any photo from the museum of the said Jalak Sangu Tumpeng?

There does not seem to be an image of this particular item on their website although there is this
Museum of Ethnology Vienna and a curator to contact.

I saw this David and made a copy to my desktop, but where does it identify this keris as the keris in question?

[drdavid]

Hi David
it does not identify the keris on their web page at all, I was just throwing it up as a nice image and highlighting the fact that they did have a curator specifically for Insular SE Asia who may be able to assist anyone who wanted to take this further
cheers

Dear All,

here are the pictures of Keris, which belonged to Diponegoro, according to notices of George Lodewijk Weijnschenk. He acquired this Keris in Yogyakarta, 1886 he's collection came to MVK Wien.

Total length 48,7 cm, blade length 40,5, which is very big for a Yogya kris. Also atasan is very substantial.
