This stone dvarapāla, or guardian figure, dates to the 11th century and remains in the garden of Museum Sonobudoyo. Its textile pattern is closely related to those from Central Java. The patterned kain represents a simple four-petal flower edged with a brocaded border. The dress style accurately replicates the equivalent of an Indian dhotī, where the cloth is pulled between the legs, tucked behind, held by a metal belt, and overlaid with a fabric sash. The detailed carving of the border pattern on the textile and the chains on the belt attest to the sophistication of the craftsman. The figure has sizeable round earplugs, bulging eyes and flaring hair; all these aspects attest to his character as a guardian figure. /*! elementor – v3.21.0 – 18-04-2024 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}
