[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 417769, member: 2844"]Stylistically it is more Javanese/Indonesian than Chinese.There is a close cultural connection between the different East Asian arts, but there are differences. Chinese usually manage to add some delightful scenes from history or mythology somewhere in the carving, or Buddhist symbols. Scrolling and cross-hatching, floral designs without people in it, are very Javanese/Madurese. The Javanese do add a central mask sometimes, but most of the time they don't. Madurese is usually without a mask.[/QUOTE]
