Beautiful painting Ria. This is called Sunggingan in Jawa where i believe the practice originated. The Balinese also did this to some extent. It was an honor reserved for court officials and finding old original painted wrongko is rare these days and the prices are very high for them. It is nice to see that the art form is reviving, but sad to see that the newly painted wrongkos are often passed off as old, original pieces. I'm glad your source is an honest one.

Get a glass showcase and display it in your living room!
 It'll be a great conversation piece! |

Very interesting observation Tim, but i'll bet you'll have a real hard time (no pun intended) getting any confirmation on such a design intention.
