    "description_en": "In 1939 William George Stirling gave this bronze bust, which he sculpted himself, to the Raffles Museum, now the National Museum of Singapore. It shows his idea of a typical Chinese merchant rather than a real person, and was reinstalled in the Singapore History Gallery in 2013.",
