About the Item

Indonesian Yogya, Djokja Basket and bowls with animal figures, Ca 1890 An Indonesian, Bali, low silver content (800/1000) large basket and three bowls. A large basket with each at the longest sides a Kalahead (a mask of a monster lion) (Bali) between flowers and animal figures. The silver from the former Dutch colony, East Indies, present-day Indonesia, is called Djokja. Traveling salesmen and repatriates brought many silver objects with them to the Netherlands. The largest and most beautiful production is from the period 1880 to 1930. Djokja 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 or inside The use of silver in Djokja silver is often difficult to determine. In Indonesia, the amount of copper in the alloy and the associated hallmarks were not taken very seriously. In some cases there is only a number indicating the alloy, sometimes together with a maker's mark. There is no number, marks or initials on this basket The measurement of the basket is 8,5 cm high, 27 cm wide and the depth is 13 cm. The three bowls re 4,5 cm high and 12 cm diagonal The weight is 586 grams.
