<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 377664, member: 2844&quot;]Kyra is right (of course) it is Balinese, depicting Rangda, the queen who summoned the demon army against her wrongdoers. I always see these described as Chinese, but they are CLASSIC Balinese.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie78" alt=":rage:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":punch:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":punch:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":punch:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Here is my Rangda bracelet, bought with a matching ring, pendant and earrings in 1970 in Bali from the silversmith who had made it. He was not Chinese, not even Peranakan, but came from a very long line of Balinese caste-appropriate silversmiths.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]130185[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
