In 1928, a cache of Javanese-styled gold ornaments dating to the mid-14th century were discovered at Fort Canning Hill while the Fort Canning reservoir was being excavate. These include a pair of near-identical flexible armlets, a ring, three pairs of rings (perhaps earrings), an ornament, and a jewelled clasp. Some of these including the clasp were lost during the Japanese occupation of Singapore in the Second World War.
