Getting to Know One of the Masterpiece Relics from the Majapahit Kingdom at the History of Java Museum

 

When you enter the Majapahit hall, a pataka's shape is still intact from the 13th century. The patch is in the shape of a trident with a dragon headdress. This pataka is a relic of the Singhasari kingdom, passed on to the Majapahit kingdom.


This pataka from the Majapahit Kingdom is a Pataka Nagari as the embodiment of the twin dragons. This pataka was made in the era of the Singhasari Kingdom in the 12th to 13th centuries AD, and inherited by the Majapahit Kingdom.



This 
pataka is in the form of a spear, which is made of copper. And according to some sources, this pataka was saved when the Singhasari Kingdom collapsed during the Bracelets Kingdom war.


Kusumo describes the Pataka Sang Dwija Naga Nareswara in the form of a pataka Nagari as the embodiment of the tirta amerta twin dragons. This pataka is from the period of the Singhasari Kingdom from the XII to the XIII century AD. This pataka was then passed on to the Majapahit Kingdom after being saved by Sang Rama Wijaya when the Singasari Kingdom collapsed. While the Pataka Sang Hyang Baruna in the form of a spear from the XII to XIII centuries AD.


The cultural observer from Solo said that this Mahapahit heritage plaque is usually attached to the top of the leader's ship or that represents the royal expedition group. While the Pataka of Sang Padmanaba Wiranagari is in the form of a spear, this is the Pataka of Sang Padmanaba Wiranagari.


This is the first time the symbol of the Wilwatikta Majapahit Kingdom was attached to the spear pataka. This pataka was previously brought by Jayakatwang Kediri but was reclaimed by Senopati Singasari during the Pamalayu expedition. Finally, Pataka Sang Hyang Naga Amawabhumi is in the form of a dragon spear, which means the dragon guardian of justice.
