Hello Willem,
Nice addition to your collection! Any chance for a family shot of all your rentjong? Quote:
 IMHO this piece is a very nice status rencong (maybe even early 19th century) that got renovated some time during the 20th century in Aceh: The gold work looks genuine; the craftsmanship is considerably less than during the 19th (or even early 20th) century though. Regards, Kai |
