[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1180054, member: 2844"]It is an Indonesian 'pending', worn mostly on Sumatra. The stones are probably low grade Borneo diamonds, often used in Indonesian buckles. This is the Peranakan style pending, hence the Chinese figure.;) Peranakan people often made local style items, and 'Peranakanised' them. This is an elegant three-layered Minangkabau silver and niello pending from Sumatra. Traditional Minangkabau would be shocked by the flamboyant Peranakan style.:playful: [IMG]https://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/2018/7/15/0/9/4/094e4d6d-86d2-4d6e-8f88-b56cf4d0541b.jpg[/IMG] This one is also Sumatran, also an elegant shape and threee layers. Possibly from Aceh, in the northern tip of the island. [IMG]http://www.thedaaldercollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/the-daalder-collection-malaysian-sumatran-belt-buckle.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
