📄Description

In Peranakan homes, there are also miniature beds. The front width is only 38 cm, with everything else similar to the larger version. This bed is used for amber children. In the past, many Peranakans believed that undeveloped or aborted fetuses would continue to live and develop like children into adulthood. So, treating the fetus with a complete bed and accessories, they provide toys and perfume. They even held a wedding between an amber child and another amber child
