Keris of Hamengkubuwana VII

I swear I'm becoming far worse at reading between the lines.. or at least figuring out when I'm supposed to be. Or maybe it just comes with still being quite green about a particular subject matter

Anyway, I got there in the end

So putting aside that it's most likely not what the caption says it is, what's the convention or etiquette around displaying royal pusaka? It's my understanding that according to Javanese ethics or conventions around puusaka, you do not publicly display them, and yet I can go to a museum or a keraton and see many. Or is this not considered "public"?
