HoA_Tang Wei Teng_ Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia



Me with my favorite exhibitions
The exhibition that I like the most will be the arms and armour exhibition in the museum especially the flintlock pistol. It is because I was attracted by the unique shape and on the barrel of the pistol which appears to be a leopard's head and the flora pattern crafted on the pistol. According to the information given, the stocks are inlaid with gilt metal and silver, with flora designs. It is an exquisite and fine art of arms.
