I am not sure that pieces like this are only reserved for royalty?
 I think that wealthy people also could have owned thus a piece but frankly I don't know it exactly.Beautiful piece with gold, suassa, ivory and akar bahar, very very nice!  Regards, Detlef |

If I remember right, only nobility were allowed to have the gold crowns on their weaponry. This is restricted to the former sultanate of Aceh where these originate. |

I saw this cojang last weekend at Amsterdam Tropenmuseum.
More a ferrule than a "crown", but nice to share imho. |
