Hugh Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 OK, maybe wrong was the wrong word: misstaken is better! It clears up that what I thought to be a decoration actually was an umbrella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 OK, apologies to both of you. My "smart mouth" ran away again, but I was really curious to learn more, and to see if I could work some of it out with my Malay dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Son of a Gun, my hunch paid off! That's the Sultan of Solo (Suryakarta)! The line continues to reign but not rule. Can't remember for sure, but I think the current Sultan is Hamankubono XIII. (Not at all sure about the numeral) His retainers all wear caps and sarongs of a unique royal pattern of batik.

Herr General Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 The Bronbeek Museum:The medal you are looking for is the medal in honour of 40th government jubilee from Pakoe Boewono X, the soesoehoenan of Soerakarta. The medal is made bij the Firm ?Koninklijke Begeer in Voorschoten? in 1932. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
