[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 671176, member: 2844"]The connection between Norway and the Low Countries is much, much older than that, but we won't go into that.;) I don't really iunderstand how a Dutch-Norwegian connection points to Dutch East India, rather than for instance South Africa or the Dutch West Indies or Dutch North America. Dutch East India means parts of India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Deshima in Japan, and parts of Taiwan. I am probably forgetting some, but anyway, that is an enormous range of cultures. But truthfully, I can't really see this in any of those countries. But I would love to be proven wrong, after all, we are all here to learn and share. I still think Latin America though. There were shops selling Latin American furniture, antiques and artifacts here in the Netherlands in the 1960s, so why not in Norway? After all, countries are never isolated blobs on the map. My ancestors have quite an international background, which includes Dutch Hanseatic as well as Indonesian, which explains a bit about my interest in both Nordic and Asian. And just about anything else.:D I know very little about values, sorry. I am more into (art)history and symbolism. I have to pass on the period as well, the origin still hasn't been confirmed. It could have been repainted at some stage, which also makes it more difficult.[/QUOTE]
