Just bringing this thread up again in light of some info I found in van Zonneveld (p.125) that answers part of my question. It is regarding the inlay that he says are auspicious signs (if I understand him right). Although this is in the context of sikim panjang, I think it can apply to other Aceh pieces.
I guess this leaves the crowns for court or status wear as discussed in another thread.
