Zilveren Peranakan gesp, Tangerang, Batavia 1772 The place Vilahur still existsBeautiful silver Peranakan buckle. The Peranakan are descendants of Chinese colonists in Maritime Southeast Asia who, mixed with local cultural elements, formed their own unique culture. In West Java, wealthy Peranakan women often wore a specific type of belt buckle, known as a pending. These pendings came in two main varieties: the smooth pending polos and the pending poohwa, which were decorated with small figures and plants soldered onto them.
