For the objects (485 items, 470 in the catalogue) exhibited in the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Eastern Asiatic Arts, Budapest, see the catalogue: Kelényi, Béla & Renner, Zsuzsanna: Indonézia művészete: Soelaeman Pringgodigdo gyűjteménye.

Yayasan Mitra Budaya, Jakarta, 1982. 4. It is to be noted here that since the publication of the catalogue of the exhibition in the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Eastern Asiatic Arts, Budapest in 1993, some descriptions, particularly of archaeological objects, have been corrected. At the time of compiling the catalogue, owing to a shortage of time, lack of experience in the field and lack of material for comparison, in several cases we had to rely on the data supplied by the collector. These were generally reliable: in some cases, however, they have not proved to be fully correct. In the case of some items mentioned in the text, I shall give the corrected data here; their numbers in our exhibition catalogue were the following: face cover Cat. 2., "open oval" ear ornaments Cat. 20-25., gold ring with stone Cat. 34., "conch-shell" Cat. 26., "bird rings" Cat. 2930., "rod finial" Cat. 28., piloncito-coms Cat. 54-64., "sandalwood" coins Cat. 40-53., architectural piece Cat. 110., sarong Cat. 394., slendang Cat. 399., sarong Cat. 407. Futher research might reveal further errors, but it is unlikely that we shall be in the position to study the collection again. 5. I follow here the usual periodization as related to that of Miksic (Miksic, John: Old Javanese Gold. Ideation, Singapore, 1990.): preclassical period (archaeological cultures before before the Indian influence), c. until A. D. 200; protociassical period (first Indian-type kingdoms in Western Java), c. 200-650 A. D.; early classical period (Central Javanese civilization), late 7th - early 10th centuries; late classical period (East Javanese civilization), early 10th - late 15 th centuries. 6.
