Java dress questions and translation

Gavin Nugent · 2nd July 2023, 05:51 AM

I've been waiting for this to arrive for many months now and I finally have it in hand to provide images and ask questions.

YES, the hulu is reversed... it is set fast.

1/ Is the hulu Deder Yogyakarta?
2/ Is the timber Timoho?
3/ The Warangka seems a little broader than most at 6cms... it this typical or denote anything?
4/ Can anyone offer insights or translation to the inked characters to the side of the Warangka?
5/ Are there any determining factors in the images presented which could be indicative of a safe estimated age range for the dress?

Any other insights welcome.

Gavin

EDIT' Mods, can you please rotate images, they were in the correct orientation on my PC.
