Colour photographic illustrations, 191pp, glossary, bibliography, index, dustjacket. Hindu-Islamic in shape and function, yet strangely characteristic of the Chinese in emblem and decorative design, Straits Chinese silver is an unusual product of two cultural traditions. Though having none of the quiet elegance of old Malay silver, the ornamental beauty of Straits silverworks is particularly striking and has an appeal of its own. To highlight this collector's volume are over 130 illustrations, captioned in refreshing detail, about 90 of which have been reproduced in full colour. The stunning collection shown here is representative of the finest Straits Chinese silver to be seen anywhere in present-day Malaysia and Singapore, and covers the entire inventory of Strait silverwork.
