TD is a man of few things. He likes his electronics, but like most men, he doesn’t really do knick-knacks. However he did want his own remembrance of Jakarta.

We got it at such a great price with TD’s amazing haggling skills (he is even better than me!). We don’t really care if it’s real antique or repro, for the price it’s an amazing piece. TD likes it and that’s all that counts.
