Silver was imported from China in the form of ingots. It was also melted down from trade dollar coins and antique silver. There was no set standard, usually being about 80% to 90% purity. Silversmiths employed by royalty or a patron were anonymous and did not sign their work. Their training took a long time.

It was usual for men to carry a large kerchief over their shoulders that was folded into a bag. The kerchief was weighed down with large beads. The long bead was called boh pinang muda. The round facetted bead was called boh entoee.

19th century or earlier.
