Rick, I think Kubur might be pointing out that in Jawa early casting was done in bronze, but later casting, ie, from sometime during the 15th century, was done in iron.

Thank you, I'm happy that you read what I posted!

It's not my text, but short abstract of an excellent article that I found online.

The article is attached here.

it looks like the approx. 18 cm long trisula's made from tombak ( alloy of copper and zinc) as many of the trisula's from Java and Sumatra, popular with the Betawi warriors and the in Srivijaya (Indonesian: Sriwijaya) empire.
