Economic Connections

This source, an artefact, is a gold ornament with a design of a Hindu God, most likely Kala, the Goddess of Destruction. It was found at Fort Canning. There could probably have been economic connections between Singapore and India as the amulet was found in Singapore, and probably rich traders from India came to Singapore to trade with Singaporean traders as the ornament has a design of a Hindu God on it, so very skilled craftsmen from India could also have crafted this fine ornament, and selling it to the Indian traders.
