A very nice pair of rentcong ( rentjoeng) with hulu puntung, thanks for sharing them. You can find similar ones in Von Zonnevelds's book on pagge 114 with close ups of the hulu on page 14.

Hi Ben,

Best regards,
Willem

Dajak · 26th June 2007, 02:20 PM

Hi Willem it is Elephant Ivory the scabbard from one is broken the other one is missing

Ben

asomotif · 26th June 2007, 03:40 PM

Nothing like a nice rentjong (besides nice mandaus etc. etc

)

The suasa/copper combination is almost the same as one in my collection.

Dajak · 26th June 2007, 04:52 PM

very nice one look at the sikim is also the same these are from the same collection

mine is copper I think but could also be soeasa

I like Atjeh too but did buy also an nias shield celebes shield with hair and 2 Asmat shields this month.

I also looking for bontoc and an kalinga shield so let me one if someone has one for sale or trade .

Hello Ben, wonderful collection!!! Ben, are scabbards missing of all your sikin, or you preferr to hang them without scabbard?
Thanks

Dajak · 26th June 2007, 08:10 PM

Hi flavio I like to hang them mostly without scabbards but only 2 have scabbards
they mostly broken

Ben

Flavio · 26th June 2007, 08:19 PM

Thank you Ben, it's true that the sikin scabbard are made of very light wood (at least the only one that I have

) and so it's normal that in most of the case tey are long time gone

RhysMichael · 26th June 2007, 08:34 PM

A wonderful display. I need to find out where you shop

Battara · 26th June 2007, 10:58 PM

Me too - especially for rencongs....

asomotif · 27th June 2007, 04:17 PM

Ben,

Definately looks like a collar of copper with above it suasa.
Indeed very nice that the sikim is the same.

best regards,
Willem

Dajak · 29th June 2007, 05:48 PM
