- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Sumatra, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. An elaborate set of bridal bracelets (known as gelang gadang podang) intended for wear by women during their bridal ceremonies. The interior wooden core forms the teardrop-shaped profile before being wrapped with hammered copper sheets, and the interior wrist hole is lined with an additional copper sheet. The exterior of each bracelet is elegantly lined with high-quality (96%) silver panels with dense geometric, linear, and foliate motifs in repousse. A pair of diamond-shaped silver panels cap the sides of each bangle, and gently moving them to one side reveals the original golden-yellow hue of the metal. Display stands for photography purposes only. Size of each (both are relatively similar): 6.75" W x 7.5" H (17.1 cm x 19 cm); quality of silver: 96%.
For a stylistically similar pair of bridal bracelets, please see The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, accession number 2004.2336.1,.2.
Provenance: private Johnson collection, Los Angeles, California, USA; ex-private American collection, Jakarta, Indonesia, acquired between the 1970s and 2000s
