Little Baba Nyonya

I spy a Malaccan Bride's headdress

The littlest Malacca nyonya bride

And her bevy of jewelled dokoh, lovingly assembled by grandmother




An anglophile Baba in white suit

Two little nyonyas try their hand at cherki
"Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest one of all?"

Baba Brother and Nyonya Sister in Bridal ensemble


I am fascinated with this little nyonya Malacca whose grandmother
went into all the trouble of outfitting her in this finery.
