Determine Front Side of The Pendok
Hello,
I just got this pendok. My estimation for this Pendok is from West Java. Picture A has more smooth texture, while picture B has more stand out texture. My question are which picture is the front side? Also, any suggestion which region this pendok is came from? (Like Cirebon, Banten, or another region) Thank you, Best regards, Joe |

My thought is that "B" is the front side of your pendok.

My vote is:
B-front A-back But I am a novice collector and my opinion is more based on gut feeling than on solid knowledge.

I also vote for B as the front side. I am quite impressed by this pendok, both the quality of the embossing work and the full decoration on the back side. Regarding the area of origin I also guess Northern Java as Marco in absence of a better alternative.

Another vote for B as front side! Very nice and beautiful pendok!
 And like Marco and Jean I vote for North coast Java but this is just my "feeling".Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 19th August 2017 at 02:15 AM. |
