The silver from the former Dutch colony, East Indies, present-day Indonesia, is called Djokja. Traveling salesmen and repatriates brought many silver objects with them to the Netherlands.

Djokja silver is recognizable by the motifs used, such as the lotus figure, animal figures and geometric figures are also known. As a technique, Indonesian silver is considered important, something that the Europeans in Indonesia were very fond of. In addition, the silversmiths used an old regional technique: embossing; this is hammering out the silver from the outside or inside The use of silver in Djokja silver is often difficult to determine.
