Women in The Cultural Heritage : Klipoh’s Pottery



Carnelius ,The Dutchmen wiped the sweat in his eyebrow when the sun rose over his head. His eyes stared to 200 people worked in the hill.  Some cutted the tree and burned the scrub. The other cleaned the ruins.  Almost 2 months they cleared the forest to seek the great relic of 8th century. Cornelius did not want to disappoint his lord. His effort had begun to show it result. The team found the Buddha head statue that hidden in bushes. The big excavation in Magelang Regency lead by Cornelius actually based on Thomas S Raffles order when he heard about a rumor of the biggest temple in Java that hidden beneath the soil in that area.

During the excavation process, the team found another revelation. The found trace of pottery used by the household in that area long time ago.

After days and months of excavation, the temple showed it structure. From the structure, the archeologist found Karmawibhangga relief. The stories carved in the relief are about example of karma law and the ancient cultural activities. On that period, people used pottery in daily activities, for example : pot, tray, stove, cup, plate and many more.
