That's my final input.
Hope it helps.

P.S. This item was a favourite in CAROK (duel) and banned by the Dutch in the mid 19thC; also by the Indos in mid 20thC

Thanks Amuk,
Tjeloerit, as in celurit / clurit etc...
I will try to find similar pieces in Museum collections to get some more references.
carok, I will try to find some info about banning by the dutch.
On the web I found only bahasa websites (Wikipedia) and "bloody" pictures.
I can understand that they banned it.
Best regards,
Willem
Ps, there is still some question about the decoration.
So anyone with an opinion, feel free to post.
