This 1714 silver salver, created by an anonymous artist, is a stunning example of decorative arts from the early 18th century. The central medallion features an intricate engraving of a scene with a recumbent figure, an angel above, and additional figures, surrounded by a text inscription. The ornate rope-twist border adds to the decorative richness of the piece, making it a testament to skilled craftsmanship.

The family of Cornelis Chastelein, a member of the Council of the Indies, had this silver salver made in his memory. Such trays were used to serve drinks; piring is the Malaysian word for tray or dish.
