The sculpture is one of the objects that are
considered antiques. Some people who like a collection of antiques, of course,
keep one or two statues in their collection. It's the same with a museum which
is a place to store and collect antiques. Of course, these items have different
historical backgrounds.
In the History of Java Museum Yogyakarta, there are
many antique objects with a historical background of the formation of the
island of Java. These antique objects are commonly referred to as historical
objects. Why is it called a historical object? Because the object's age is very
long and is one of the relics of our ancestors.
Getting to know the History of the 'Paksi Naga Liman'
Statue
Paksi Naga Liman
The statue of 'Paksinagaliman' is one of the historical collections that we can find at the History of Java Museum Yogyakarta. This statue is made of wood. Derived from Cirebon, West Java, and found in the 19th century. The statue of 'Paksinagaliman' is one of the symbols of the greatness of the Cirebon Kingdom, which is also used as the name of the great train of the Cirebon Sultanate and used by the King of the Kanoman Palace to attend the grand ceremony or the bride of the family of Sultan Kanoman.
This heritage train was the primary vehicle during the
Singhapura Kingdom to the Cirebon Sultanate. The wings on the train's body are
in the form of a bird that symbolizes the Middle East country, and of course,
the symbol is an element of Islam. Meanwhile, the dragon represents the form of
the ruler of Caruban, commonly known as Mang, so that this heritage train is believed to be the
unifier of the three cultures in Cirebon.
