However, when examined based on the art style of the statues, the four have younger characteristics. Therefore, the question arises, what are the characteristics of the sculptures from the four statues in the collection of the National Museum of Indonesia, and when is the relative date indicated by the art style of the statues? This study aimed to determine the art style of the four statues from the collection of the Indonesian National Museum and provide new information on the chronology of the time of the statues.

The results obtained indicate that the four statues have two sculpture characters, namely the Majapahit era and the late Majapahit period, with a relative date range of the XIV-XV centuries AD.

The worship of Shiva is embodied in the form of lingga or a statue, decorated with distinctive ornaments and attributes commonly depicted to identify Shiva. A statue with inventory number 29a/3184 in the National Museum Indonesia depicts Siwa with flower and animal ornament which have never been found in other Shiva statues. This article aims to investigate the religious concept flourished during the making of this statue by conducting an iconographic analysis on the said ornaments.

Abstract The field study that was organized by the committee of Premodern Java Summer Programme in 2016 targeted several museums in East Java, especially in Mojokerto-Penataran area. That field study was intended to provide an understanding about the development of cultural arts during the end of Hindu-Buddhist period of Majapahit Kingdom. This paper is discussing about one of the objects that was being observed during that Summer Programme. The object of discussion is the lion-headed figure, stored in Museum Penataran. During the Summer Programme, some participants have predicted that the statue is Lord Vishnu in his Narasimha form. That prediction was mainly based on the statue's head which resemble a lion's head. Through several studies, such as the description of the statue, the literature study of iconography, and analysis about the special iconographic character, this paper concluded that this figure is a manifestation of Ganesha, named Simha-Ganapati. The worship of Simha-Ganapati has a purpose not only to bring strength and courage, but also to provide confidence in facing problems by destroying all forms of negative thoughts.
