Memorial/Hero stones

[A. G. Maisey]

The links below are to pages in my own site, the carvings shown are at three Javanese "temple" sites, Candi Panataran, Candi Prambanan, and Candi Sukuh. These three sites are considered to be extremely important for the study of Javanese life during the Hindu-Buddha period.

Prambanan and Panataran show scenes from Hindu stories, but the material objects shown in the carvings are from Javanese society at the time of the carving. Sukuh uses a style known as "Wayang Art", but again, the weapons are representations of Javanese weaponry at the time the carvings were done.
