About the Item

We believe in life after death, where the spirits of our ancestors reside. In Javanese tradition, they believe that ancestral spirits are always with us and take care of us even though we are in different dimensions. And we, who are still living in this world, should always try to protect our cultural heritage and ancestral land.
