I also undertake that any quotation or paraphrase from the published or unpublished work of another person has been duly acknowledged in the work which I present for examination. Signed: Date: ii Abstract This thesis examines a corpus of free standing figurative sculpture produced in Java over the period 9th to 14th century whose dress displays textiles with detailed patterns. This surviving body of sculpture, carved in stone and cast in metal, varying in both size and condition, now stands in archaeological sites across Java, and within museums in Indonesia and worldwide. Situated a few degrees south of the equator, the climate of Java has precluded any textiles from this period surviving in situ to the present. This thesis argues the textiles represented on these sculptures offer a unique insight into the textiles in circulation in Java during this period. The original contributions to knowledge include the compilation of the first comprehensive record of this body of sculpture, together with their textile patterns, and their classification into a typology of styles. Due to the limited number of inscriptions and texts from this period, this research utilized visual analysis methods to examine the sculptures, supported by images of the sculptures taken by the author and original line drawings of the textiles commissioned by the author. It establishes that during a brief period in the late 13th century the textile patterns carved on the sculptures reached their most diverse and complex. Considering supporting evidence from elsewhere in Asia, this thesis explores the origins of the medieval textiles depicted on the sculptures, and attempts to identify the types of textiles being represented. It also provides some analysis of specific motifs, such as those representing tantric iconography. As this research necessitated a detailed analysis of all the sculptures representing textiles, it also contributes significantly to other aspects of apparel and ornamentation. This thesis further argues the remnants of these patterns be utilized in the stylistic dating of sculpture from this period. iii Acknowledgements One of the privileges of undertaking my PhD research on a part-time basis over six years was the opportunity to meet so many scholars involved in this field. The timetable also afforded me the years necessary to locate all the sculptures which now form the basis of this PhD thesis. These sculptures were to be found in remote sites within the rural landscape of East Java, in local museums across Indonesia and the Netherlands, and in prestigious institutions from St Petersburg to New York. Serendipity also permitted the research of certain sculptures only rarely on display in temporary exhibitions. It was also necessary to employ this time in researching the body of surviving medieval Asian textiles to be found within Indonesia and in public textile collections from Australia to Switzerland. This extensive research has resulted in my being beholden to more individuals in more locations than I could ever imagine acknowledging by name. The initial inspiration for this PhD project lay in a series of articles published by Jan Wisseman Christie from 1991 to 1999, and observations by scholars such as that by Hiram W Woodward in 1977 with which I preface my Introduction. Given the prominence and importance of the drawings throughout this thesis, I offer a special acknowledgement to Ms Yiran Huang MA for interpreting with remarkable accuracy and detail the line drawings of the textile patterns represented on the sculptures. It is customary to commence such acknowledgements with your supervisor, and in my case there are three I need to thank: Elizabeth Moore who was my nurturing supervisor throughout my first five years whilst I assembled all my material, Christian Luczanits who accepted me as his student for my final writing up year, and Stacey Pearson who remained an active and supportive second supervisor throughout. I thank a number of internationally recognized Java scholars in the Netherlands including Pauline Lunsingh Scheurleer, Marijke Klokke and Veronique Degroot whose deep understanding of Javanese art history provided me with my initial direction. A few special individuals on the ground, such as Eko Bastiawan in East Java, Eka Rusdiawanti in Central Java, and Nigel Bullough aka Hadi Sidomulyo at UTC, Trawas, East Java, have played practical roles as local researchers, translators and guides, and provided constructive ideas and general support. Pak Lutfi, Professor of History, University Negeri iv Malang, Pak Dwi Cahyone, University Negeri Malang and Ibu Asti Suryo Astuti, Director, Danar Hadi Textile Gallery, Surakarta have all guided me on the uses of terms in Javanese dress styles. Over the years I have received advice from many art historians on the sculptures including Robert Brown at LACMA in Los Angeles, Edi Sedyawati in Jakarta, Natasha Reichle at the AAM in San Francisco, John Guy at The Met in New York, and Olga Deshpande at the Hermitage in St Petersburg. During the course of my research many textile curators and collectors have shared with me their knowledge of medieval Asian textiles: Jacqueline Simcox in London, Jon Thompson in Oxford, Regula Schorta and her team at the Abegg-Stiftung in Switzerland, Zhao Feng at the CNSM in Hangzhou, James Watt in New York, James Bennett at AGSA in Adelaide, Ruth Barnes at YUAG in New Haven, and Thomas Murray in San Francisco. Several international scholars encouraged me in my research including Annabel Gallop, Arlo Griffiths, Lydia Kieven, Edmund McKinnon, and Jonathan Zilberg. A number of fellow students provided practical support with my fieldwork in Asia including Ida Chow in China and Julia Pratt in Indonesia. In my pursuit of a better understanding of the various specific types of basaltic andesite from which the sculptures were carved, I thank Andy Beard in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Birkbeck, University of London. I received early translation services from Gosta Bergholtz, Joan Bulmer and Academic Affairs, and final proofreading support from Janet Clemo and John Sutcliffe. During my final fieldtrip in May 2016 I received assistance from Liliek Adelina and Pak Among at the Vihara Buddhayana in Jakarta. I also shared my image library with and received constructive feedback from John Miksic, Goh Geok Yian, Helene Njoto and Elizabeth Moore in Singapore, from Hadi Sidomulyo, Ismail Lutfi, Dwi Cahyone and Bambang Budi Utomo in East Java, and from Asti Suryo Astuti in Central Java. I conclude by thanking my husband Diccon for taking the majority of the photographs in the field, and for his constant encouragement and active participation throughout this six year PhD project, and my grown up children Lara and James for temporarily releasing me from my maternal duties. v Notes to Readers Drawing Credits All drawings are by Ms Yiran Huang MA, Royal College of Art, London and remain the sole ©copyright of the author. The commissioned line drawings were completed between 2014 and 2016. Ms Huang graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2015 with an MA in Visual Communication. The drawings are as far as possible an accurate interpretation of the textile patterns, although in some cases the patterns proved difficult to decipher due to surface deterioration. Therefore Ms. Huang used her trained and qualified eye to create the best possible representations which reflect both her own and the author’s interpretations. In most cases she worked in London with the author’s high-resolution photographs, however she also travelled with the author to The Netherlands to study first-hand the sculptures in the RMV-Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde in Leiden and in the TMA-Troppenmuseum, Amsterdam. She was also requested to create a line drawing of the lower limbs depicting the textile pattern on the figures of central Java as seen in Chapter 2. In this way, the reader is able to appreciate more clearly the designs on these sometimes very small figures where the pattern is often not immediately visible from photographs. In the case of the stone sculptures catalogued in Chapters 3 and 4, guidelines were set for Ms Huang to extrapolate the design from the rounded stone surfaces to establish a ‘flat textile pattern’. Each cloth is drawn to the same proportions and is as true a representation as possible of the patterns depicted on the stone surface. In some instances the petals on a flower may not be the same all over the pattern, therefore what she has drawn may not exactly replicate other parts of the image’s dress.

For more information on these Experiences, please visit our website at http://www.threadsoflife.com The Textile Arts Experience The Indonesian archipelago was once the crossroads of the world. For over 3500 years, people have come here seeking fragrant spices, and textiles were the central barter objects in this story of trade, conquest and ancient tradition. An exploration of Bali’s textile art traditions grants us access to this story. Spice trade influences juxtapose with indigenous motifs throughout the archipelago: echoes of Indian trade cloths abound; imagery relates to defining aspects of the local environment; history and genealogy entwine. Uses range from traditional dress, to offerings, to the paraphernalia of marriages and funerals. Our gateway to this world is through the island of Bali, where we steep ourselves in the island’s rich traditions while based at the Umajati Retreat near Ubud. Here we will receive insightful introductions to the local culture, and visit several weavers with which Threads of Life is working to help women create high-quality textiles that balance their desires for sustainable incomes and cultural integrity.

  • Development of Majapahit Batik's Design
    1. Development of Majapahit Batik’s Design: Digital-Based Creativity Management Setyawan1, Anung B. Studyanto2 Abstract This article discusses the creative process of Majapahit Batik’s design development through the digital-based creativity management. Creativity management offers a new dimension to the development of Majapahit Batik’s design in terms of visual, aesthetic practice, and the process of cultivating a digital-based design (computer graphics). In particular, this article will describe how digital-based creativity management can be a model development of Majapahit Batik’s design that is more innovative, effective, and suitable for every context of the times. Keywords Design, Majapahit Batik, Digital 1. Introduction Batik Majapahit saved the tremendous potential in the form of historical and artistic wealth as the legacy of Majapahit Batik is batik that made by batik artisans Majapahit Kingdom. Majapahit's heritage itself offers in Trowulan, Mojokerto, and surrounding areas that is different nuances in aesthetic, iconographic, symbolic, inspired and reprocessed the results of the cultural art and visual styles (Kieven, 2014). Although there are relics of the Majapahit era in terms of visual, philosophy, many opportunities for the Batik Majapahit and cultural values. The existence of Majapahit Batik development, but it stagnated in the creation of creative cannot be separated from the belief that since the days of batik motifs. One of the causes of stagnancy is due to Majapahit there is already similar cloth like batik. These lack of creative innovation of Majapahit Batik motif in beliefs can be traced from some notes or evidence that terms of visual, aesthetic, and creative process leads to Majapahit Batik.

  • 1 SUMMARY the Shibori, Batik and Ikat Techniques Are Known As Resist
    SIMBOL ŞI TEHNICĂ ARHAICĂ-RAPEL ÎN CREAłIA CONTEMPORANĂ BITAY ECATERINA 1 SUMMARY The Shibori, Batik and Ikat techniques are known as resist dyeing techniques. „Shibori” is actually an old name of the Tie-dye technique, a widespread expression in the hippie communities of the 60’s – 70’s period, when this technique had a great success also among the fashion designers, making a spectacular comeback, after a long period of sporadic isolation in certain areas of the world, especially in Japan, Africa and South America. The first textiles found by archaeologists are so old that we may say that world history could be read in the nations’ textiles. The rise of the civilizations and the fall of the empires are woven and printed on the scarves and the shrouds of the great conquests main characters. Archaeological diggings revealed signs of these traditions of 5000 years old. Religion, traditions, myths, superstitions and rituals are closely related to the textiles belonging to many nations of Eastern Asia, Asia Minor, and of the Pacific Islands, their aesthetic value being, more than once, secondary. CHAPTER 1 THE SHIBORI TECHNIQUE The origin of the word “Shibori” is the verb “shiboru” which means to wring, to twist, to press. Even if “shibori” refers to a particular group of resist dyeings, the word’s origin suggests the cloth manipulation process and it can comprise modern methods of dyeing which involve the same type of cloth treatment, possibly without pigments or treatment with pigments applied by using totally different methods than the ancient ones. Shibori can be divided in many ways: according to the areas where it is used, such as Japan, China, India, Africa, Indonesia, South America or according to the details usesd in the technique.

  • Bělahan and the Division of Airlangga's Realm
    ROY E. JORDAAN Bělahan and the division of Airlangga’s realm Introduction While investigating the role of the Śailendra dynasty in early eastern Javanese history, I became interested in exploring what relationship King Airlangga had to this famous dynasty. The present excursion to the royal bathing pla- ce at Bělahan is an art-historical supplement to my inquiries, the findings of which have been published elsewhere (Jordaan 2006a). As this is a visit to a little-known archaeological site, I will first provide some background on the historical connection, and the significance of Bělahan for ongoing research on the Śailendras. The central figure in this historical reconstruction is Airlangga (991-circa 1052 CE), the ruler who managed to unite eastern Java after its disintegration into several petty kingdoms following the death of King Dharmawangśa Těguh and the nobility during the destruction of the eastern Javanese capital in 1006 (Krom 1913). From 1021 to 1037, the name of princess Śrī Sanggrāmawijaya Dharmaprasādottunggadewī (henceforth Sanggrāmawijaya) appears in sev- eral of Airlangga’s edicts as the person holding the prominent position of rakryān mahāmantri i hino (‘First Minister’), second only to the king. Based on the findings of the first part of my research, I maintain that Sanggrāmawijaya was the daughter of the similarly named Śailendra king, Śrī Sanggrāma- wijayottunggavarman, who was the ruler of the kingdom of Śrīvijaya at the time. It seems plausible that the Śailendra princess was given in marriage to Airlangga to cement a political entente between the Śailendras and the Javanese. This conclusion supports an early theory of C.C.

  • Filosofi Dan Penerapan Konsepsi Bunga Padma Dalam Perwujudan Arsitektur Tradisional Bali
    Langkau Betang, Vol. 3, No. 1, 2016 FILOSOFI DAN PENERAPAN KONSEPSI BUNGA PADMA DALAM PERWUJUDAN ARSITEKTUR TRADISIONAL BALI I Nyoman Widya Paramadhyaksa Fakultas Teknik, Universitas Udayana [email protected] Abstrak Padma adalah sebutan bunga teratai merah dalam bahasa Sanskerta. Padma tumbuh secara alami di media lumpur dengan kandungan air yang cukup. Akarnya tumbuh menjalar di media tanah, batangnya terendam di air, sedangkan daunnya yang lebar mengapung di permukaan air. Bunga padma yang sedang mekar berada di atas permukaan air, menengadah, bersih dari noda lumpur, dengan kelopaknya yang merekah sempurna ke segala arah. Karakter fisik padma yang sedemikian rupa ini telah lama melahirkan ilham dijadikannya padma sebagai bunga suci dalam ajaran Hindu dan Buddha. Dalam seni lukis dan seni arca timur, padma juga sering dijadikan lapik atau atribut yang digenggam tokoh dewa-dewi tertentu. Di Bali, padma juga dijadikan sebagai konsepsi dasar wujud bangunan suci dan arah mata angin. Kelopak-kelopak bunga padma yang merekah sempurna sering kali dikaitkan dengan keberadaan delapan arah mata angin utama yang diyakini dijaga oleh para dewata utama pula. Tulisan ini merupakan ringkasan dari suatu kajian yang menerapkan metode hermeneutik tentang filosofi bunga padma dan keterkaitannya dengan konsep arah mata angin utama yang dikenal dalam tatanan arsitektur tradisional Bali. Pada beberapa bagian juga akan dipaparkan gambaran wujud penerapan konsepsi bunga padma tersebut dalam berbagai perwujudan arsitektur tradisional Bali. Hasil akhir penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Konsepsi Padma ini telah terejawantahkan dalam tata ruang Pulau Bali, tata mandala pura, seni bangunan suci, dan seni ikonografis arca tradisional Bali. Kata kunci: Padma, delapan arah mata angin, konsepsi, arsitektur tradisional Bali.
