Hello Kai,

Yes it is a beauty! Wasn't going to collect peurises, but somehow they all came by accidently. Now I like them very much!
PS. none of the others have such strong leather piece beneath the stars.

Hello Maurice,

I could not find a general thread on gayo rentjong.
So I wil just bust into Maurice's gayo thread.

I found this picture of a Christies auction in 2005. Just wanted to share this unusual gayo piece (2nd from te left)

Best regards,
