HOPP FERENC MÚZEUM — MUSÉE FERENC HOPP - Kovács, György: An Illustrated Wayang Book

schematic wayang figures are outlined in ink or India ink and painted with gold and coloured tempera. On the slightly yellowed paper they come across well. The added table, compiled on the basis of those illustrations with cap­tions, gives the essential features of the individual figures. The table and the iconographical characteristics were based on a work entitled Darah Bharata published in 1919 by Commissie voor de Volkslectuur. 8 Those illustrations lacking captions were identified with the aid of the table, including the bracketed page number on which they occur. Some of the published illustrations do not have captions and it was not always possible to identify the characters represented. The illustrated and identified male figures are as follows : Ki (or kihageng, kyahi) Darmamulo, prabu Balesyaro, prabu (djaka) Nusontaro, prabu Win­dodjelladro (or-dri), prabu Mardohom, prabu Mardotjondro, prabu (rather sri) Tjaturhassromo (or hasmoro), prabu Pulomarto, pati (or mankupradja) Puiomarto, pati Prawirosandi, ratu Hawuhawulangngit, Purbotjarito, Pur­bosasmito, Purbosastro (raden). The female figures are: Ni (or nihageng) Darmamulo, or rather Darma­muli, prabu hestri Karanghardjo, putri Karanghardjo, Pramesyaro (prames­yaro), dewi Mannikkaro, dewi Pulungsari. As for the place and the period in which the story originated, can be said that it was Middle Java, in about the XIV—XVth century A.
