All That Glitters

There are many interesting objects displayed at the museum Prabu Geusan Ulun, Sumedang. But what caught my sight was the shiny gold crown and other jewels and finery. If you say all that glitters isn't gold, it doesn't work here in this museum. All's gold here.

Below are the Siger Binokasih Sanghyang Pake Crown and its accessories, made in gold. 
It is said to be the heritage given from an older kingdom, Pajajaran.



The Ki Dukun Kris - belonged to King Prabu Gajah Agung, son of King Prabu Tajimalela, 
reigned as the third king of Sumedang Larang Kingdom (893-993AD) .
