Wikipedia: The bunga mas dan perak (translates as "golden and silver flowers"), often abbreviated to bunga mas, was a tribute sent every three years to the King of Siam from its vassal states in the Malay Peninsula - in particular, by Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah and Pattani. The tribute consisted of two small trees made of gold and silver, plus costly gifts of weapons, goods and slaves. The origins of and reasons for the establishment of the tradition are unclear.
