Dear Sjors,

I have also pendhoks -- some are not in good condition -- which bear different symbols in the back. Some with Javanese scripture (caraka script), but the other only depicting symbols. It is also possible, that the symbols were made by private owner to differ his or her property from others... Maybe for his own inventory or identification.

Regards,

One of mine very closely resembles your third example - the one with the numbers 15, 55 divided by the design. Mine of course has different numbers, but the layout is identical, making me think they were perhaps part of the same collection at one time. Or from whatever source the markings indicate. Do you happen to know more about the meaning of the markings or the origin of this piece?
