Object description

Bärstol av skuret och bemålat trä. Bärstolen är målad i rött, svart och guld och ornamenterad med lotusblommor, blad och rankor. Längst ut på vardera armstöd finns ett naga(orm)-huvud.

Bärstolen används för att bära temepelfigurer vid processioner. Tempelfigurerna tas till exempel regelbundet ut för att rituellt renas i havet.

Tempelfigurerna, arca lingga eller pratima (bal.), fungerar som tillfälliga hem (palinggihan) för gudarna under tempelhögtiden. Inför tempelhögtiden plockas figurerna fram ur gudaskåp (gedong), kläs, dekoreras med blommor och parfymeras. Figurerna animeras rituellt, och renas årligen genom procession till havet eller en helig källa. Figurerna placeras i en paviljong (balé paruman, pangaruman eller pasamuan) i mitten av den innersta tempelgården. (Ramseyer, Urs. 1977)

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.
