DP57_19 - A view of a house, Simalungun, Sumatra, Indonesia

About this image

CreatorDorothy PelzerDescriptionThis part of the thatched roof seems to be split into two slightly overlapping levels. A modelled buffalo head is a finial. Notched longitudinal and cross beams are the main support for the house. Note : Dorothy Pelzer was uncertain of location for DP57_4-28. However, on examination and comparison, DP57_13&14, 17-27 appear similar to DP129_12-16, 19-30 which are of the raja's palace and other houses in the museum complex in Pematang PurbaDate Original4 August 1963CountryIndonesia
