When we get this gold leaf overlay it is called "prada" (pron, "prodo").
Gilded work is correctly called "pradan", but it is commonly called just "prada", which means "gold leaf".
I have never seen quite this effect, usually it will be combined in small amounts with sunggingan work. We often find prada work on wall plaques (blawong) & keris stands (ploncon, jagrak).
