Hello Alan,

Thanks for yet another instalment!

Certainly not any kraton wear.

This begs the question: Why do you think so?

Only this specific ensemble, based on its possibly mixed origin? (From old quality examples I get the impression that courtly styles along the North coast and on Madura might have been less strictly controlled than in Jawa Tengah; it is possible that many local centres/ports and faster development of different styles throughout time is confounding this impression though.)

Or this wrongko style in general? (From what I've seen, this ladrang type often comes with very well selected wood of high quality; and excellent craftsmanship, too.)

Regards,
Kai
