Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the period of the Javanese Majapahit empire (1292- c.1500 CE). The period is characterized by the re-emergence of pre-Hindu elements. The sculptural style in this period is most noted for the relief panels depicting the punakawan, clownish characters from Javanese poems. Prominent examples of architectural styles in the period are Candi Brahu, featuring brick construction, Candi Tikus, featuring bathing pools, Candi Wringin Lawang, featuring a gate type known as candi blntar ("split gate"), and Candi Sukuh, featuring a truncated pyramidal structure. Late in the period, temple styles evolved to include cylindrical bodies, square foundational bases, complex stepped sanctuaries, and horned banaspati head sculptures that supported the cornices.
