This thread has been running for quite some time, but I have never looked at it previously.
When I look at these "crowns", it strikes me that I am looking at a representation of the tumpal motif. Has anybody thought to investigate this? |

Asomotif asked me to show the crown on a sikin parang of my collection.
Not with gold inlay. Made of bronce maybe (or hopefully) made of souasa. Best thomas Last edited by thomas hauschild; 3rd November 2019 at 07:04 AM. |

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 |

I want to bring your earlier comment back up because nobody really replied to your question. Lots of comments about the "bling" but nothing in regard to your suggestion of a tumpal motif, which makes sense to me. |

Peter Dekker notes this in the "Tumpal" glossary entry on his site.

In hands of time, The crafts of Aceh, by Barbara Leigh,
the writer refers a bamboo shoot motif, Pucuk rebung. In this old thread there is also information : http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=atjeh |
