Loro Blonyo Wing Blawong Pair

Blawong is derived from the word “blabak,” which means wooden board or place, and “dhuwung,” which means keris (a traditional Indonesian dagger). So, “blawong” refers to a place where keris is placed on the wall. Generally, blawong is carved with wayang (shadow puppet) figures, but these carvings depict Loro Blonyo, symbolizing hope and harmony within the family.
