This revised and expanded edition of the 1990 publication 'Old Javanese Gold' celebrates Valerie and Hunter Thompson's 2007 gift of Javanese gold objects to the Yale University Art Gallery. Along with entirely new photography and a fresh design, the essays in the book have been updated to incorporate recent discoveries, including the Wonoboyo Hoard, one of the most important gold hoards ever excavated in Southeast Asia.
