<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2773576, member: 2844&quot;]Well, this thread has become quite a hornet&#039;s nest, hasn&#039;t it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The things the pandemic does to us.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I only know of the Indian ones which were hugely popular in the 1980s-90s. They were generally made in Hoshiarpur, and they look very different from raver&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to a British style campaign chest in Indonesia in the late 70&#039;s, it could have come there during the British occupation of Indonesia during the early 19th century. There are also many &#039;Dutch-Indonesians&#039; who are part British, another way a British style campaign chest could appear in Indonesia.</p><p><br /></p><p>A bit on the background of European culture in Indonesia:</p><p>Dutch-Indonesians are a mix of European and Asian. They can be part Dutch, Portuguese, German, French, Swedish, etc. Quite a few Dutch-Indonesians have British surnames.</p><p>There was extensive mixing of Europeans and locals because for a long time the only way a European trader could have any succes was through connections with local rulers. Also, Europeans were not allowed to own land. Marrying a local woman was a way around that, especial in the matrifocal regions where land was owned by women anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
