Green-Red Wayang Blawong Kalamudeng

Blawong is a decorative plaque used to display a Javanese keris dagger, often elaborately carved to enhance its cultural and artistic significance. This piece features intricate carvings of wayang figures representing villagers and animals, symbolizing everyday life. 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.
