Ah! You meant the mranggi... But the wrangka shown could note have been from the 16-17th Century, so someone must still be making it. Perhaps not in East Java but in the northern pesisiran states. Semarang perhaps?

Thanks for the photos. I'm attracted to the Sari Bulan wrangka. Is that from Java? It does look like the Sumatran ones but a lot broader.
