I'm with you, Jose! (including suasa, silver, enamel, stones, akar bahar, ivories, etc.)

Just don't overlook the amazing iron/steel work as well as superb wood/horn carving done on the high-end pieces as well as most "average" examples...

Regards,
Kai

And now finally some Gajo pieces - two rare rencong and one keris on a background of a so called Aceh coat (semi official military coat) of an officer with a miniature Military Order of William 4th class. Photo of a military patrol in the Gajo area and an ivory gajo keris handle.

The peudeung is so beautifully mounted, and clearly a high status piece. May I ask if the blade is sturdier and more substantial than what is often seen on these??

Hi - it is the same type of blade. Better made than most and not imported but locally made with layered steel. But as most thin and very flexible - I think it is just belongs to this type of sword.
