royal carriage

A skilled Folk Art depiction of a Royal carriage used by the sultans of Central Java. We can see on the top of the carriage, the royal crown with the mythic bird "Kangjenk Kyahi  Garudha" who carry the god Vishnu, flanked by palace servants. It is made of tin on a timber base, a superb work of art with great attention to details. C.1930s. Central Java. Indonesia.
