Sinopsis:
There are two distinct traditions of silverwork in Malaysia: that of the indigenous Malay craftsman who worked under royal patronage to create receptacles and items of adornment for the exclusive use of reigning sultans, their families and retainers, and that of immigrant Chinese silversmiths from Southern China who fashioned a variety of jewellery, bed ornaments, and items for hospitality and ritual used by the prosperous, long-established Malaysian Chinese families. This book, first published in 1910, is copiously illustrated with over 250 examples of Malay and Chinese silverwork of a quality rarely found these days outside museums and private collections. This new edition includes a lengthy Introduction by Sylvia Fraser-Lu, the author of Silverware of South-East Asia (OUP, 1989).
