About this image

CreatorDorothy PelzerDescriptionThe entire traditional house is constructed of wood and other natural materials. Nails are not used; instead, components are joined through mortises and tenons and beams are notched into each other. 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
