Social connections Singapore had with other countires before 1819

The last connection Singapore had with other countries before 1819 is the social connection. Social connections happen when cultures, traditions or languages are exchanged.

These are the fragments of the Yuan blue and white stem cups. They were made in China, between the 13th to 15th century, and excavated in Fort Canning Park. It is a traditional stem cup used by the rich in China at that time. From it I can infer that Singapore conducted trades with the Chinese and obtained these stem cups. Therefore, there is a social connection established between China and Singapore by exchanging cultures through goods. This is the Headless Horseman. It was made from pure lead in the 14th century and excavated at Empress Place. From it I can infer that Singapore established a social connection with the country with produced the Headless Horseman. The details in the figure is very detailed and suggests that it was owned by a rich person. The clothes of the man sitting on the winged horse is also wearing a traditional sarong, hence there is a social connection established.
