Description

Ring van massief goud, gegraveerd met een woord in oud Javaanse 'kawi' schrift in spiegelbeeld geschreven. De woord is 'kabel' (lees 'kebal') en betekend 'immuun' of 'immuniteit' in Oud Maleis en misschien ook in Oud Javaans. Oud Maleis is oorspronkelijk een handelstaal en het woord heeft hier een diplomatische betekenis.
