The photograph I posted of Paku Buwono IX, the Sunan of Surakarta, was copied from the official book the Karaton Surakarta, published under the authority of Paku Buwono XII, and by the Yayasan Pawiyatan Kabudayan Karaton Surakarta.
The caption to this photograph reads:-

" Paku Buwono IX (r. 1861-1893)and his wife, queen Ratu Mas."

Raden Ayu is a title used for a noblewoman, not for the wife of a ruler.

Kulbuntet, what is "Yoja dress"?
