Dutch at table with the king of Gammelamme in 1680.

The illustration is taken from the work 'Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indiën' by François Valentyn.

The king had plotted to have all the Dutch killed, but the Dutch sensed foul play and managed to prevent this happening.

The king in question was Kaitsjili Sibori or Kaitsjili Amsterdam.
