<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4296967, member: 2844&quot;]So am I, but it is worth having it checked anyway.</p><p>One thing that puzzles me is the material. It looks like terracotta, which was used mostly in the East Javanese Majapahit Empire, 1293-ca 1500. The style, however, is Central Javanese, and older than Majapahit.</p><p>A similar style is found in the Prambanan temple complex on the Dieng Plateau near Jogyakarta, which was begun by the Sanjaya dynasty ca 850. The Dieng Plateau statues are carved from a grey stone.</p><p><br /></p><p>My parents had a grey stone head in Prambanan style, also on a plinth, but that was much more clearly a replica.</p><p>I really love yours, replica or not, and would have bought it in a heartbeat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prambanan:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://asiaforvisitors.com/indonesia/java/central/yogya/prambanan/IMG_1273.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://justfunfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/prambanan-aerial.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
