Dear Jean,
Our post crossed - my comments were directed at Yohan's questions.

Would you classify the gold work on the blade shown by David as kinatah or sinarasah?

As I said, we can't really know from any pic but a high-power X-ray...
As a default, I'd assume that the figurines have an iron core which was pre-modelled on the gonjo. The gold layer may be thin, indeed.
I believe this most likely would be subsumed under kinatah by Jawa standards.
Regards,
Kai
