Ben,
Try to find Hands of Time: The Crafts of Aceh by Barbara Leigh. ISBN 979 428 110 7 Then there are of course dozens of old articles and books about Aceh but I think she has compiled most of it nicely together in her book. Michael |

Probably the amount of golden crowns only shows how rich the owner was?
Maybe you could find something in this article: De Sikin by P. Vermieren from De Vrienden van het Etnografisch Museum Antwerpen, XIV(2), 2 (1987). Haven't found it yet myself. But you are closer to Antwerpen than I am. Please arrange a copy for me too. Michael |
