Djokja (Yogya) silver is recognizable by the motifs used, such as the lotus figure, animal figures and geometric figures are also known. As a technique, Indonesian silver is considered important, something that the Europeans in Indonesia were very fond of. In addition, the silversmiths used an old regional technique: embossing; this is hammering out the silver from the outside The use of silver in Djokja (Yogya) silver is often difficult to determine.
