[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 419207, member: 2844"]It is the Balinese rice Goddess Dewi Sri, made of kepeng. Kepeng are antique Chinese cash coins which are still used as currency is some areas of Indonesia. These Dewi Sri's are the specialty of one village on Bali. I forgot which, but have it in my files somewhere. Ruby Lane is pricey, and that one was very unusual. Yours is very nice, but an average example from the late 20th century. Nothing wrong with that, but you did pay too much imo. Tommy, I think you are in the Netherlands, where the usual price would be ca €40. You can sell them internationally for €95-100.
