Description

Kamcheng Peranakan / Nyonyaware Malay Chinese cultural colourful jar kamcheng peranakan.

The beginnings of the Peranakan-Chinese in South East Asia date back to the 12th Century.  Many Southern Chinese merchants had actively engaged in trade more than 2000 years ago, but the first permanent settlements in cities on the isle of Java and the Malay Peninsula were not established until the 13th Century.

This identity within the Chinese community began to form when Chinese traders intermarried with local women and adopted South East Asian social practices and the local language. The Peranakan Chinese have picked up many nicknames over the years: from being honored as ‘the Kings Chinese’ during colonial times.

The term Baba is an honorific term for a Peranakan male. Strictly speaking a Peranakan-Chinese Baba is a descendant of a Chinese who has had long residence in the Straits, as opposed to the local-born children of nineteenth century Chinese immigrants. Nyonya is term given to a Peranakan female.

These kamcheng are valuable ornaments since the start of this peranakan culture. They are indeed important wealth ornaments until today.
