Weight:
Silicified wood, probably from the genus Dipterocarpus. On Java, these woods, which were buried and silicified by volcanic ash more than 20 million years ago, are dug up by the farmers in their fields and processed on site. Most of these woods come from dipteropod trees, which are still native to Indonesia today. The sculpture of the trunk with the branches was artistically designed from a raw piece of flint wood and then polished.
