Here's my rencong with gold inlay, once present crown (triple spikes representing a bamboo shoot), and also the whole hilt tip once covered with gold (as shown by a piece of gold still attached to the damar).

Seems to me that this combination of gold decorations is a genuine Aceh variation. I, for one, like it...

This rencong has seen hard times; I'll post pics when its state of preservation allows to show more details.

Regards,
Kai
