Goodday friends
I got hold of this rencong pudoi at a boot sale. It is my only item from Aceh that I have at present. Please see pic. I do believe it is antique, perhaps mid to late 1800's, but I realise it is perhaps of a less desirable quality. The blade measures 22 cm and the horn hilt plus metal stud 11.3 cm. The blade seems to have a somewhat undulating pattern near the edge, but not very distinct.
