Certainly genuine and likely suasa - have it tested, Thomas!

I've seen a few in suasa without engraving nor enamel while I can't remember ever having seen one in gold without the traditional motifs (enamel can miss from older examples, probably from loss rather than original design).

Regards,
Kai

Wow !

One day when I grow up I would like to have just one siwah like that.

Really nice, thank you for sharing.

Best regards,
Willem

Here is one variation that I have never seen before.
