For Jonno, see last coment david.
For David, thank you.
For Alan,
There are family ties to Solo from Yogja, so to call it a rival house, dont know if thats the propper way to call it... same as for Puro Pakualaman palace/kraton.
First you can have a look at the head wrap. The Yogja head wrap has got the knot at the back, solo has it at front (ukiran solo "nose"). Second the jacket he is wearing is a Yogja style jacket... forgive me i dont know the propper Indonesian/Javanes names. The Sarong batik motif could be Yogja also... but is difficult to tell without colour showing. Iff we compare the first photo of Jonno with the photo in discusion of PBIX, it looks like the same Batik motif, and since the unindentified person is also wearing the knot at the back, it would be posible that he comes from the Yogja blood line.
For Jonno,
Do you allow me to send the photo of your first post to some friends of my, on in Indonesia who has good contact with people of high level. I will ask iff he can tell us more.
Regards Michel
