These are valuable objects, not merely because of the costly materials from which they are made; but above all because of their historical and cultural significance, as gifts on the occasion of the investitures, the regnal jubilees, marriages or births of various members of the House of Orange-Nassau. Such gifts elicited reciprocal gifts from the Netherlands. A number of these are still carefully preserved in Indonesian palaces.…
