Cricket is very popular in the West Indies, not so popular in the East Indies.

Perhaps the coins might be East Indian?

Hello Alan,

Henk was correct, I know next to nothing about cricket. Still need to see better pictures from the coins but I think that Amuk is on the correct path.

Regards,
Detlef

In the collection of the Dallas Museum of Art is a similar sword.
See one of the photos on https://www.artoftheancestors.com/borneo.
Unfortunately, I don't have any additional information on this sword, not even an inventory number.

Hello Albert. Always good to hear from you and thanks for the link. Here is the sword that you referred to. A very nice example of the style.

Unfortunately not. There is nothing to describe this sword on the site that Albert referenced.
