Lontar manuscript 1930-1940 from the collection of Prof C Bonne (1891-1948). Prof Bonne was professor at the Medical School in Batavia, and editor of the Medical Magazine in the Dutch Indies.
1930-1940
This remarkable lontar came from the collection of Prof C Bonne. He was an important doctor in the Dutch Indies.
The very detailed drawings depict scenes from the Ramayana acoompanied by Balinese words.
This was no touristic item, but more a show of force by an experienced (most likely) Balinese lontar writer.
Important lontars had covers made of expensive wood, and the side of leaves were painted red, like this one.
In some cases even a special box was made to preserve the lontar, like in TOBO 753 and TOBO 800.

These bundling of articles was printed and ditributed by the Java Institute in Djokakarta.
The now famous article by Rudolf Bonnet was the first time an art connoisseur described the high level of art in Gianjar-Bali (woodcarving, silver, textiles).
He also expressed his concern that certain skills, acquired through generations, were in danger of dying out because of the increase in tourism which resulted in lower quality art products.
