The royal achievement of Kutai
The royal achievement of Kutai dates also from the time of
Sultan Alimuddin. It was described and explained by him in a paper called
“Djelasnja symbool
ini disoesoen ketika Srie Padoeka Jang Maha Moelia Toeankoe sultan Almarhoem adji mohammad ‘alimoeddin mendjadi
Radja di Keradjaan Koetai Karta Negara.”
The achievement is of European fashion, and consists of a
crowned shield, supporters and a mantle. On the shield some parts of the
Royal Treasure are depicted referring to the ruling dynasty and the
inauguration of the sovereign. In the compartment are the regalia: Blowing
pipes, cords and kris. The gong, on which the sovereign was presented to its
parents is carrying the shield and symbolizes the phrase “of the Empire”. The
stone, described in the Salasila, is replaced by a globe, also a symbol of
the territory.
The tigers are the symbols of a king (in Buddhist
symbolism: - of wild animals), “worthy and courageous supreme commander of
the army”. As a result, the sultan of Kutai is represented here as having a
rank equal to a Raja (king) and not to a Maharaja (high king) for which the
insignia was a lion. The achievement is:
