Thanks,

But the thread was about the crowns and its enamel work

Any more examples / variations around ?

Willem - thank you for adding your two fine rencong crowns; the one with the colour variations within each panel is amazing - perhaps unique?

Ok here is a picture of my rencong and sikin, both with emamel, for comparison. Note: on both the rencong and sikin crown complexes, the enamel alternates between green and black colors.
