That's nice. Much more ornate than the ones i've seen in other pictures which makes me wonder if this one was even really intended for use.
BTW, nice display design and lighting. I'm gonna have to get myself over to the Marsh Museum someday. I would image you have it housed in it's own seperate building by now.

Beautiful. Looks like teak. Do you think the now kratons use this during washing?

Afaik, for Kraton Surakarta, they use a simple boxy piece of wood, (probably cut from a tree-trunk and carved) not as fancy as this. Nice tub.

For this year's Heirloom Rejuvenating Ceremony (Rangsang Rias Pusaka Bangsa) in Singapore, 2 simple wooden tubs were used. Picture showing the 'warangan' tub.
