Hidden Treasures, the third book in the Java Gold series  explores exquisite ritual objects and statues, many of which are totally one-of-a- kind objects.
These hidden treasures from private collections document Java gold from the 7th to the 15th century. As is the case with courtly paraphernalia, the vast majority of Hindu-Buddhist images were used by the highest Javanese royalty during a period of fabulous prosperity. This fabulous collection is of paramount importance to collectors and connoisseurs of the world’s most exceptional precious metal works of art.
