Abstract

Abstract Ganesha is the best-known deity after Trimurti in the Hindu pantheon. He is worshipped as the lord of beginnings and as the lord of removing obstacles. He is sculpted in various depictions. One of them, collected by the Prambanan Temple Museum, Yogyakarta, shows a snake and a mouse as his vahana (mount/vehicle). This image has never been found anywhere else. Therefore, this study was aimed to find out the mythological story behind that depiction and to investigate the past people’s understanding of it. This descriptive study employed an iconographic analysis to analyze the collected data. The analysis results indicate that Ganesha is revered as the protector of crop yield (the harvest deity). Abstrak Ganesha merupakan dewa terpopuler bagi umat Hindu setelah Trimurti. Dewa ini dipuja karena keberadaannya dapat memberikan kemakmuran dan menghindarkan segala rintangan dan marabahaya. Tidak mengherankan apabila dewa ini diarcakan dengan berbagai penggambaran. Salah satu penggambaran yang unik ditemukan di Museum Candi Prambanan, Yogyakarta. Ganesha digambarkan memiliki ornamen ular dan terdapat pahatan tikus sebagai wahananya. Tentunya gambaran ini belum pernah ditemukan di tempat lain sehingga diperlukan suatu kajian untuk mencari tahu cerita mitologi yang melekat dalam wujud tersebut. Selain itu, juga untuk menerka pemahaman masyarakat masa lalu terkait dengan penggambaran wujud tersebut dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Kajian yang dilakukan ini menggunakan deskriptif-analisis dengan menggunakan kajian ikonografi sebagai dasarnya. Hasil yang diperoleh mengindikasikan bahwa arca Ganesha tersebut merupakan perwujudan dewa pelindung hasil panen.

Abstract

Abstract Java was once the center of Hindu and Buddhist culture around the 4th until the 15th century AD. The number of archaeological remains from this period is infinite, both monumental remains such as temples and petirtaan (water shrines/ temple), and other remains such as yoni, linga, and statues. These remains are registered systematically by the Dutch East Indies government through its Archaeological Service (Oudheidkundig Dienst). unfortunately, most of them cannot be identified for their exact present locations. Some of the remains were later discovered unexpectedly at the time of construction or agricultural work activities. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the locations of archaeological remains as reported by the Dutch Archaeological Service in the region of Magelang using the Geographic Information System (GIS) approach. This study suggests that, during the period of the Dutch East Indies, Magelang region has a very high density of Hindu-Buddhist archaeological remains. The result of this study can be used for further surveys, re-inventory, as well as protection and preservation efforts. Abstrak Pulau Jawa pernah menjadi pusat perkembangan kebudayaan bercorak Hindu-Buddha sekitar abad ke-4 hingga ke-15 M. Tinggalan arkeologi dari periode ini sangat tinggi, baik berupa candi, petirtaan, maupun tinggalan lepas seperti arca, yoni, lingga, dan sejenisnya. Inventarisasi tinggalan tersebut sudah dilakukan secara sistematis sejak masa pemerintah Hindia Belanda melalui Dinas Purbakala (Oudheidkundig Dienst). Sayangnya sebagian besar tinggalan arkeologi tersebut sekarang tidak lagi diketahui secara tepat lokasi. Ada yang kemudian ditemukan secara tidak sengaja pada saat kegiatan pembangunan ataupun pengerjaan lahan pertanian. Penelitian ini berupaya untuk melacak ulang lokasi tinggalan arkeologi Hindu-Buddha yang pernah dilaporkan oleh Dinas Purbakala Belanda di Wilayah Magelang. Proses pelacakan dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan Sistem Informasi Geografis. Hasilnya berupa peta sebaran lokasi tinggalan arkeologi Hindu-Buddha. Peta ini menunjukkan bahwa di Wilayah Magelang, pada periode Hindia-Belanda, mengandung tinggalan arkeologi Hindu-Buddha yang padat. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat dimanfaatkan untuk kegiatan survei, reinventarisasi, hingga upaya pelindungan dan pelestariannya.

Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses the makara found at Adan-Adan Temple, Kediri. So far, it is the largest makara in Indonesia and, in terms of iconography, has distinctive features. The data was collected through detailed observations both directly in the field or through photographs. This study employed a comparative analysis, i.e. comparing the collected data to the makaras from different periods (the Ancient MatarÄm, the SrÄ«wijaya, and the SiÅ‹hasÄri). From these comparisons, it is known that the makara at Adan-Adan Temple has special characteristics, i.e. different depictions between the makara on the left and the right as can be seen from the figure of a mythical creature inside the makara’s mouth, from the sculpture on the front of the makara, and on the back of the makara. This particularity may be included as an art style of the Kaá¸iri period (the transitional period of from Ancient MatarÄm to SiÅ‹hasÄri). Abstrak Tulisan ini memaparkan tentang makara yang ditemukan pada waktu penelitian di Candi Adan-Adan, Kediri. Makara Candi Adan-Adan sejauh ini merupakan makara terbesar di Indonesia dan dari segi ikonografi mempunyai ciri yang khas. Pengumpulan data dilakukan ketika penelitian melalui pengamatan detil baik secara langsung atau melalui foto, kemudian mendeskripsikannya. Analisis dilakukan dengan studi komparasi yaitu membandingkan makara Candi Adan-Adan terhadap makara-makara dari masa yang berbeda, yaitu masa MatarÄm Kuno, masa ÅšrÄ«wijaya, dan masa SiÅ‹hasÄri. Melalui perbandingan tersebut diketahui bahwa makara Candi Adan-Adan mempunyai ciri-ciri khusus berupa pembedaan penggambaran yang dapat diamati antara makara di sebelah kiri dan kanan, pada figur makhluk mitos yang berada dalam mulut makara; pada pahatan di bagian depan makara; dan pada bentuk bagian belakang makara. Kekhasan ini kiranya dapat dimasukkan sebagai gaya seni masa Kaá¸iri (masa peralihan dari MatarÄm Kuno ke SiÅ‹hasÄri).

Abstract

This paper examines microorganisms causing damage to rock arts in Leang Pettae, Maros Karst Area, South Sulawesi. The damage is indicated by a layer of white sediment on the cave walls and rock arts. This research aims to identify the microorganisms that cause the damage and to determine the preservation strategy for the rock arts. Microorganism samples were taken from the area around the damaged hand stencils and figurative paintings of babirusa (Babyrousa). The samples were cultured on PDA (Potatoes Dextrose Agar) medium at the Biology Laboratory of the Agency for Borobudur Conservation. The analysis identifies fungus from the genus Paecilomyces, which thrives in humid and wet conditions, and produces protease enzymes that affect the organic elements of the rock arts. To preserve the rock arts in Leang Pettae, it is suggested to control temperature and humidity, prevent air pollution, and limit human activities inside the cave.
