Synopsis
Gold jewellery played a large role in the Javanese Court culture. The precious material was even granted a divine power, something also reflected in the way in which the pieces are decorated. Monsters, demons and other aggressive headlines are believed to bring the wearer happiness and protect them from evil forces. The starting point of this publication is the beautiful gold jewellery collection of the Gemeentemuseum The Hague. Supplemented by other striking examples from the National Collection of the Netherlands, 'Gold from Java' creates a fascinating picture of the meaning and use of the early Javanese ornament. This is the first time that the history of this Hindu-Buddhist jewellery is presented in such a way.

From the Back Cover
Gouden sieraden hebben in de Javaanse hofcultuur een grote rol gespeeld. Aan het kostbare materiaal werd een goddelijke macht toegekend. Dat komt ook tot uitdrukking in de wijze waarop de sieraden zijn versierd. Monsters, demonen en andere agressieve koppen brengen de drager geluk en zorgen ervoor dat kwade machten worden afgeschrikt. Uitgangspunt van Goddelijk goud vormt de fraaie collectie gouden sieraden van het Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. Aangevuld met andere markante voorbeelden uit de Collectie Nederland ontstaat een fascinerend beeld van de betekenis en het gebruik van het vroege Javaanse sieraad. Het is voor het eerst dat de geschiedenis van deze hindoe-boeddhistische sieraden voor het voetlicht wordt gebracht.
