There exist numerous free-standing figurative sculptures produced in Java between the eighth and fifteenth centuries whose dress display detailed textile patterns. This surviving body of sculpture, carved in stone and cast in metal, varying in both size and condition, remains in archaeological sites and museums in Indonesia and worldwide. The equatorial climate of Java has precluded any textiles from this period surviving. Therefore this book argues the textiles represented on these sculptures offer a unique insight into the patterned splendour of the textiles in circulation during this period. This volume contributes to our knowledge of the textiles in circulation at that time by including the first comprehensive record of this body of sculpture, together with the textile patterns classified into a typology of styles within each chapter.

The tales in this collection are those of an inveterate insomniac. The characters, and their predicaments, come on stage when the lights are not quite focused, the cues still muffled from the curtains of fantasy. Perhaps it is fitting. My pretensions to competence, if such there were, are in the philosophy of science, where the debate was and continues to be: how much is invention and how much is real. ’Tis no different in my insomniac excursions.Those characters that come into focus? Some are invention, some are real.
