From the collection of the National Museum of World Cultures, 46 objects from Indonesia were examined, for which 33 resulted in provenance reports. The objects can be divided into four different categories:
- The first group (1 to 11) was selected, in consultation with the National of Museum of Indonesia, from the large collection that until 1883 was part of the Royal Cabinet of Curiosities (Koninklijk Kabinet van Zeldzaamheden).
- The second group (12 to 27) are objects that entered the NMVW as a result of colonial wars (in Banjarmasin, Aceh, Bali, and the War of Indonesian Independence).
- The third group (28) concerns Buddha heads originally from the Borobudur.
- The fourth group (29 to 33) consists of objects collected by private collectors (Georg Tillmann, Martine Tonnet and Freek Kamma).
The provenance reports were written by the researchers Tom Quist (1,5,8,9,10, 23, 24), Klaas Stutje (2,3,4,6,7,20 t/m 22, 32), Mirjam Shatanawi (11 t/m 19; 25 t/m 27), Marieke Bloembergen and Melle Monquil (28), and Caroline Drieënhuizen (29 t/m 31, 33). Their research was carried out in consultation with members of the PPROCE steering group.
