661 - 664. Finger rings - "Tjitjing"
Four massive silver finger rings with large, half-round stones, like our signet rings or old Roman rings. The stones are mostly chalcedony, agate, carnelian or jasper, but all semi-precious and even diamonds are found. These rings are popular in the entire Indian Archipelago, they are made by the native silversmiths in great numbers; nobles and privileged people wear such rings made of gold.
