Ben, are you sure they this are no tourist examples? :D

Hi Arjan I don t now I am not an expert on Atjeh weapons

so what you think :D :D :D

Ben

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.

I just put them on my wall

Ben

click and finish wall!
 

Hi Ben,

In what construction shop did you buy this kind of wall?
Than I can go tomorrow to buy such wall too. :D

Hello Ben,

No scabbards ? ;) :D

is it rhino or elephant ivory ?

Best regards,
Willem

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

Ben

Nothing like a nice rentjong (besides nice mandaus etc. etc :D )

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

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 .



Ben

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

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



Ben

Thank you Ben, it's true that the sikin scabbard are made of very light wood (at least the only one that I have :o ) and so it's normal that in most of the case tey are long time gone :)

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

Me too - especially for rencongs.... :o

Ben,

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

best regards,
Willem

There is also a lengt difference with the sikim s there is a long model and an short one .
