This photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Isidore Kinsbergen between 1863 and 1864, depicts two bronze zodiac jugs from the 14th to 16th century, originating from the Kawali region of West Java, Indonesia. The jugs, both cylindrical in shape, are adorned with intricate relief carvings, likely representing zodiacal figures and other symbolic motifs. These jugs are a fascinating example of ancient Javanese metalwork and provide valuable insight into the cultural and artistic practices of the period.
