This type of sewar seems quite common and I believe it might be fairly widely distributed across this region (possibly not limited to the Minang groups).

Hello Kai,

Thanks for the information, any source for this? Yes, this type is a very common type, the next one I will show is similar but much more ornate. The one in question I added to the collection even because it's plain, it has its own charme.

Regards,
Detlef
