Another sewar with suassa and gold with rather "not so royal looking" sheath. I believe this too is from exhibit in Aceh's museum.

Looks like the scabbard and sewar were married, not original to each other.
Also looks like someone tested the suassa on the bottom of the grip in the bottom photo. |

Royal sewar that belongs to a Teuku in Aceh as part of their family heirloom.

In post #90, Asomotif shows us a rencong with a quadruple crown, like the crowns on siwaih (e.g. posts #64, 74, 92).
Has anyone come across other rencong with similar quadruple crowns? |

Hello loedjoe,
Well noted. this rencong is definately a rencong, but has all the other Siwai features. The suasa ferrule and the quadruppel crowns. I cannot recall a similar example. Maybe someone else does ? Best regards, Willem |

Many thanks, Willem, for your response. Let us hope others will see my question, and perhaps come up with other examples. (Although, as this rencong is now in my collection, I hope it remains unique!)
Best wishes, Tim |
