Archaeometric analyses of rings and earrings, including chemical and technological examinations, define the composition of the raw material and contribute information on the manufacturing processes and issues related to authenticity. The art historical approach reveals that the gold ornaments cover a wide span of time and allow new interpretations of motifs, chrono-typological markers and the assigning of historical terminology. Javanese goldsmiths used motifs on coins and intaglio which had already been disseminated during the 1st millennium from South Asia as models for their images on rings, but advanced to a high level of technical knowledge and decorative innovations, so much so, that its goldsmithing diverged greatly from other Asian regions from 7th to the early 16th century. Le Musée des cultures du monde de Francfort-sur-le-Main abrite la collection de bijoux en or et en argent de la période classique de Java, acquise en 1913 de Conrad Ernst August Prillwitz. Les analyses archéométriques des bagues et des boucles d’oreilles, y compris les examens chimiques et technologiques, définissent la composition de la matière première et fournissent des informations sur les processus de fabrication et les questions relatives à l’authenticité. L’approche de l’histoire de l’art révèle que les bijoux en or couvrent une large période et permettent de nouvelles interprétations des motifs, des repères chrono-typologiques et un affinement de la terminologie historique. Les orfèvres javanais utilisaient des motifs de monnaies et d’intailles qui s’étaient déjà répandus au 1er millénaire à partir de l’Asie du Sud comme modèles pour leurs dessins sur des bagues, mais ils atteignirent un tel niveau de connaissances techniques et d’innovations décoratives que leurs travail de l’or divergeait grandement des autres régions d’Asie entre le VIIe et le début du XVIe siècle.
