Hullo everybody,

Just at a cursory glance:

- the Soenda refer to the spitoon above as: tampolong/pangloedahan/pangidon.

- the wajang motif: Gatot Katja/ Ghatot Kacha, son of Bhima.

- the peafowl motif: Karonsih (actually represents a pair of peafowl making love, symbolising the legendary lovers Galoeh Tjandra Kirana & Pandji Asamara).

- other motifs look like those on batik ( I seem to recognise a potatoe one).

Best,
