Blawong Kalamudeng Wayang

Blawong is a decorative plaque used to display a Javanese keris dagger, often elaborately carved to enhance its cultural and artistic significance. In this piece, the blawong is adorned with intricate carvings of wayang figures from the story of Cupu Manik Astagina dan Resi Guru as Panji, symbolizing wisdom, destiny, and spiritual insight in Javanese mythology. Complementing this is a kalamudeng, intricately carved with details of the Javanese ancient calendar, adding a layer of historical and astrological depth to the display. The combination of the blawong and the kalamudeng not only elevates the aesthetic appeal of the keris but also reflects the profound connection between art, mythology, and time in Javanese culture.
