Here's an antique Javanese wedhung. I've been chasing one for years. Cheers

Hi Sid. Congratulations on finally acquiring a wedhung.
Better, larger photos would be helpful, but i suspect from what i can see that your is probably later 19th century to early 20th. Not a high ranking piece since it does not appear to carry pamor.

Thanks Albert and David,

I think it had pamor at some time but is now not in stain. David do you have any reasoning to date it as you have as I have not found any guidance. I don't necessarily think that pamor in itself is a 100% guarantee of age or the fact of it being a high ranking piece though as that can easily be replicated in a modern setting. In fact I have seen a few of these pamored ones that look decidely recent.
