Description: Malay Silver and Gold by Michael Backman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Important new research into highly collectable Malay silver. Hundreds of items photographed and catalogued, many from private collections never before published. Publisher Description Malay Silver and Gold tells not only the story of Malay gold and silverware but also that of the Malay people, with particular emphasis on the banqueting items, the regalia, the betel sets, the jewellery and even the gold and silver mounted weapons of the 18th and 19th centuries. Through hundreds of photographs, many from private collections and never before published, and meticulous research across a multitude of sources. Michael Backman provides a definitive guide to Malay silver and gold and lays to rest many misconceptions. He identifies items not previously thought to be of Malay origin, and conversely points out those pieces once thought to be Malay which are not. Through his detailed analysis, Michael Backman shows that collectors, curators and colonialism have distorted our view of the Malays and their precious gold and silver treasures, and in so doing, reveals a rich and sophisticated legacy.
