The clothing of the Babas and Nyonyas reflect the unique blend of cultural influences – Chinese, Malay, Indonesian and Western. Baba costumes are an exuberant assortment of batik, embroidery, beadwork, silks, satins and organdie. In their ornate jewellery, the Babas were no less exuberant and lavish!
As an affluent community, the Babas spared no expense in acquiring fine furniture, porcelain, beadwork, embroidery, implements and vessels for their altars and ornaments.
