hello,

the second one is very nice and i really understand you feel sorry, its the way it goes.. i would love to have a piece like that. the first one reminds me of 20th century javanese hairpins. the way the leaves are shaped and the stones are quite similar. the rattan is a bit strange to me. i would say javanese, but not to old.

regards ron.

What crappy stuff - I'll go ahead and take it all off your hands.

The belt "buckles" are used all over the Indonesian, Moro, and Malaysian worlds. Yes they were worn by men of status and datus. They should be made of solid silver. Yours look to be Indonesian, though not sure.

Ron;
Does look very similar to the Javanese hair pins. By George I think you've got it.

Jose;
I know. A bunch of junk. Should be happy someone would take it off my hands.

The Pending was amazing. One day I'll find another. Had to feed the collecting monster and it was sacrificed. I seem to remember a cool belt buckle in the movie "Farewell to the King". Nick Nolte played a Dyak king or some deal. You see it?

Oh yes and I loved the movie. Yes as I said datus and men of status all over the region wear this type of buckle.
