This is a so-called "Bugis cup" by Edward Frey especially, made from brass and not mamas?

Hi Jean, you are perfectly right. All my bugis cups are made of brass but this one shows to contain 'low grade' gold via testing..of course, more brass content.

Mamas is generally a silver colored metal.Mamas is not gold nor does it have any gold content. This looks either gilded or painted to me, but i doubt it is over mamas. We most often see that metal used on pendoks.

I doubt this pendoko is made of pure base gold. Too much to spend on a cast pendoko. Likely to be brass which is gilded. At any rate, if it is gilded and it still retains much of the gilding, it can't have been done too long ago. I see brass showing through at the mid section of the rim.

Bluerf: It is small amount of low grade gold+silver...no brass. The pendokok is light
