Hi Shawfan. This one also appears to be modern work. The dress is Madurese, the sheath form is formal. It has 9 luks (curves) and again the naga is present. I cannot tell from your picture how than "kinatah" is done on this example. You other one seemed to have the gold painted on, which technically would not really be considered kinatah. Lots of these modern examples use brass instead of gold, but you still see new kinatah being done today.
