Object description

Skål på låg fot, av brons. Skålen är odekorerad.

Enligt generalkatalogen användes skålen i templen för gult, doftande puder; kallat boréh mijih.

Boreh är en blandning av gula, malda blad och blommor som används i religiösa blomoffer. Boreh används också som kosmetika av brudar och wayang-dansare. (Javanese-English Dictionary. 1974. s.89) Termen mijih har inte identifierats, möjligen ska mijih vara miju, som är den indonesiska termen för Lens esculenta (tillhörande familjen Leguminosae). (Britannica 7:269:2b)

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.
