Newbie Question: Kinatah vs Sinarasah

[David]

Yohan, i'm not sure it is always a matter of which method is "superior", but rather which methods suits the need. For instance, i might be wrong, but i would image that the heavy pieces of gold that stick out from the bottom of this gonjo must have been adhered using the Sinarasah method, otherwise they would be too prone to falling off. But i am sure that Alan and other here will have more information about this.

I think that gold leaf would be more prone to wear compared to the other method which is essentially inlay .

Hum, the heavy pieces of gold are just steel/ iron covered by a thin layer of gold?
