Ketopong Sultan Kutai
Ketopong or crown of Sultan Kutai is made of gold with almost 2 kg in weight. Nowadays, Ketopong fo Sultan Kutai is kept in National Museum of Jakarta.

Ciwa Necklace
The necklace made of gold is found by local people around Lipan lake, Muara Kaman Sub District at the time of Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman government (1850-1899). The necklace was then submitted to the Sultan, and then became the kingdom's jewelry and used by Sultan at the Erau custom party celebrating the birthday or Sultan coronation as the Sultan Kutai Kartanegara Ing Martadipura.

Uncal Necklace
Uncal necklace is an attribute of Kutai Martadipura Kingdom (Mulawarman) which was used by Sultan Kutai Kartanegara after Kutai Martadipura Kingdom was conquered and united into Kutai Kartanegara Kingdom. It is made of 18-carat gold with 170 grams in weight. This necklace is decorated with relief of Ramayana.

According to history, Uncal necklace is probably from India. In Indian language this necklace is called Unchele and there are only 2 pieces or 1 pair of this necklace in the world, one for man and one for woman.

Nowadays, there is only one Uncal necklace in India. According to the statement of Indian ambassador who visited Tenggarong in 1954, Uncal necklace in Kutai is exactly the same in shape, color and size with the Unchele necklace in India. Therefore, it is likely that King Mulawarman Nala Dewa is one of the descendants of Kings in India in the past and brought the necklace to Kutai.
