Amy Wassing

Java, Indonesia

These are not just figurines but mystical sculptures of Central Java called "Loro Blonyo", which can be translated as "inseparable pair".
The woman represents the goddess Dewi Sri, protector of the rice paddies and the man in front of her is consort Sadono. Dewi Sri is an adaptation of the Indian goddess Sri Devi and goddess of prosperity, fertility and beauty. They come from Central Java, mainly from the areas around the royal palaces in Surakarta and Yogyakarta.

They are sometimes called the bridal couple, and during wedding ceremonies they were indeed replaced by the real bride and groom, who copied the dress of Sri and Sadono in the hope of receiving the blessings of the goddess for a prosperous and fruitful marriage.

Dimensions man: 32.5 x 21 x 15 cm. 736 grams.
            Female: 26.5 x 15 x 13 cm - 580 grams.

Properly packaged for registered shipping.
