I hope it says : send me to Willem...
![]() ![]() What a lovely piece ! Quite unusual to have an inscription in gold inlay like this. I hope some of the forumites can shed a light on this. |

Nice sikin you got there Jonno and it could be well belongs to royalty... the first picture that you posted, however, was up-side down
![]() The inscription was written in arabic script but in Malay language or Jawi. It reads: "Ini ialah sikin Teuku (Tengku) Yu (?) Adam" or "This sikin belongs to Teuku (royal title) Yu (?) Adam" |

Thank you!!!
I found only one Teukoe Yu Adam in Het Gedenkboek van de Marechaussee. (see Acehbooks.org) Teukoe Adam alias Teukoe Di Oedjong as an important Panglima of Toekoe Di Mata Ie alias Teukoe Teukoe Di Paja Bakong (his real name was Teukoe Mohamed Chatib of the religion school in Paja Bakong) Teukoe Adam was killed by a Dutch Marechaussee patrol in September 1903 under command of sergeant Duyts.
