This belt ornament (Indonesian: pending) was a popular accessory in the Malay world made by Peranakan (emigrant, assimilated) Chinese jewellers, but the clientele was not limited to this community, as it was as much a part of Javanese dress as of the people of Malayo-chinese colonies living in the Malay islands or Singapore (the former British colony, called the Straits Settlements). A beautifully crafted, ornate silver pending was also the symbol of the wearer's wealth and status. This specific belt ornament is one of the more complex pending poohwa belt ornaments: stylized animal figures, flowers and humans with symbolic meanings emerge from a lush plant background. Materials/Techniques: silver, engraved, appliqué, filigree Weight: 76 gram Height: 74mm Width: 96mm Depth: 36 mm Will be packaged carefully and shipped with track&trace.
