Description
-
This pair of gold bracelets is probably the product of workshops associated with the royal court at Singasari, northern Bali, or the court of the Lombok, a neighboring island kingdom under Balinese suzerainty. The royal court of Singasari is known for its distinctive atelier, which produced a conservative style of Balinese court art still deeply influenced by the arts of Majapahit East Java.
