Just to share
I collect status and state pieces from North Sumatra (Aceh/Gajo/Batak) and this morning I made a few pics of some of my Aceh favorites.....here is one pic to share with some related period items.
*Kupiah (hat) of the high type
*Sikin with triple crown/rencongs with triple crowns/sikin with double crown (only to be used by Aceh noble people or high ranking officials like a panglima)
*Peurisse with 5 stars (most often 7)
*Atjeh Medal 1873/74 and the Kruis voor belangrijke Krijgsverrigtingen with Atjeh clasp
*3 djimats (amulets)- 2 fossil shells and one blunderbuss bullet - all with protective inscriptions in arabic lettering
*Set of sirih utensils (some with enamel like on the crowns)
*Sirih or chalk box
