Description: A very nice piece of Dutch influenced Indonesian silver. From the 1930s to 1970 traditional silver making was revived in Indonesia/Siam. Most of these pieces called Yogya, or Djokja by the Dutch, were made for export to the European market, especially Holland. Few pieces remained in Indonesia and they are rare anywhere today. This is a deep bowl, 14 cm (5 1/2") across by 7.8 cm (3 1/16") high and weighing 5.8 troy ounces. Hand wrought, incised and stippled , the patterns stand out against a darkened background. The top has three encircling bands, one of waves, a wider band of stylized lotus flowers, and a repeating band of pinwheel circles. The bottom has a wonderful chased scene of three elephants in a circle. Bands of motifs, which mimic those around the top of the bowl, surround the elephants. There are two hallmarks stamped in the bottom, neither of which I can decipher. This bowl has been tested to be solid silver and at least 800 purity. Condition is great. It comes from an estate which had a family member who lived in Indonesia in the 1960s.
