Object description

Astrologisk kalender av skuret trä. Båda sidor är försedda med inristad skrift, rutor och tecken. I ett hål i överkanten finns ett snöre med en träkrok. Enligt Generalkatalogen är det en tika.

"Javano-Balinese calender (Tika). The wooden counting board tika records all the days of a Javano-Balinese year in 30X7 columns. The counting begins with the top left box, moving down to the outer column. Then one proceeds to the second column, again progressing from top to bottom, and so on, until the bottom box of the 30th column is reached. All the important weeks and ritually significant constellations are marked. The tika is consulted when favourable days for events not fixed by the calender, such as tooth fillings, weddings, and cremations have to be calculated." (Ramseyer, Urs. 1977. s.137)

"The so called Javano-Balinese uku year has thirty individually named weeks of seven days, so 210 days in all. This period of time is binding for he scheduling of the more important, allBalinese cycles of feasts an sacrificial rituals (galungan, kuningan, pagerwesi) carried out in the course of worshipping the ancestors and appeasing the bhuta kala." (ramseyer, Urs. 1977. s.135)

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
