This sculpture is made on the idea of ​​Jewel's first president Sukarno of Indonesia who want to made a statue as a symbol of Indonesian aviation or aerospace. Hence the name of his early sculptures is the Statue of Aerospace. But because of its location in the Jewel, Jakarta people prefer to call it as the Statue of Tugu Pancoran.Human statues depict aerospace Space that shows spirit and courage of Indonesia to explore space.

This is the last monument that was never formalized by the Bung Karno because he was already ill and died.Thus the history of making sculpture / monument Aerospace or better known as the Jewel monument is hopefully much help thank you.

UNIQUENESS TRIBE BAJO INDONESIA

                                                                                                                                                              Bajo maybe you've heard though dimly, Bajau tribe is one that is unique in Indonesia. The tribal community is not only dependent on marine resources, but also almost entirely live in the sea. They generally build a house on top of a shallow sea, not on the beach. Some say that the ancestors of the Bajo Bajo bequeath to all people to live in the sea, so it is rarely the Bajo build a house on land / beach area.Bajo tribe villages of the largest populations are in Wangiwangi Island, Wakatobi district, estimated at about 20,000 people. Bajo spread in coastal areas of Sulawesi and Kalimantan, and the small islands in the central and eastern Indonesia. Bajo community's main livelihood is fishing or as a fisherman. In addition they are also very skilled in making boats / canoes and wooden boats. Bajo Muslim majority.                                                       

Observations at the Wakatobi Bajo village showed that most homes are no longer physically located directly on the water. The possibility that the lower house had water began backfilled with sand and coral rubble. Intake of these rocks are sometimes considered to be a problem, because it was feared would damage breeding habitat and reef fish and other marine life.

Initially believed that the Bajo tribe lived entirely on a boat that was given walls and roofs of sago palm leaves (a type of palm tree), called 'palema'. These boats are not motorized, so to move only rely on human power with oars tool. Clarity of its origin a topic of debate to this day. Some say that they are from the South China Sea, the Philippines, or a derivative Sameng parts of the Malay Peninsula. As a nomadic tribe in the sea, most likely not leave artifacts or physical evidence, so that its origin is still debated speculative. In development now Bajo society at large has lived in several locations, by building houses on stilts in the shallow sea.

CRAFTSMAN OR MAKER GONG

On the Road Pancasan No 17, not far from the city center of Bogor, the oldest standing gong factory and could be the only one in West Java. It is rather difficult to distinguish this plant with the houses on the edge of the huddle Pancasan Road and solid on the banks of the hustle and bustle of the City of Rain. The gong factory is about 2 kilometers from Bogor Botanical Garden Botanical Garden adjacent to the Bogor Zoological Museum.

"Gong Factory", written in clear red yellow wall that has almost faded. Yes, much of the gong factory is named Gong Factory popular but people know him as Gonghom Bogor. Under the writings of greenery lined indicating there is still life in the building.
The old old mill run by Haji Sukarna with the help of his son Krishna. This place standing with a myriad of beautiful works of cultural modernization amid the crush of modern capitalism which also can be easily uprooted roots tradition.Gonghom forge tin boom boom for mixed copper, down time since nearly 300 years ago. This is where the skill of creating gong for 6 generations passed down from father to son and never change lanes descent, as well as its location.

Pancasan road itself is so dense suitable for vehicles that come and go leaving the city of Bogor. Gong factory parking lot is only enough for two cars. That too must be worn hanging kenyi, namely mold clay to create a gong, bonang, and saron, the types of percussion from a set of gamelan.
Unpainted wooden door swung open, allowing the sound boom from the raging out of space. Bursts appear and spotting flames soared in the dark without lights. When it's too hot to burst, making a dress feels too thick.

Workers gathered inside holding a sledge hammer, forge a large circle turns red white, then later removed from the coverage of the fire burning. Not even a piece of clothing worn these craftsmen due to the heat of the room. Iron circle was again put in a furnace temperature of 400 degrees Celsius.
One day, two large gong can be generated. Start of mixing tin and copper as basic materials, then print it with the help of a clay mold, forge, until cleared from the oxidation of blackened crust. That is, to solve a set of ready-made complete with gamelan gong holder, bonang, and saron who carved it needs a full month to work every day.



    To generate a set of gamelan need more than just dedication. The gong artisans show how their skills ingrained derived from father to son. There are traditions and burst with pride pounding iron and spotting flames in the darkness of the room factories.

At the end of the room an old look to pound the rock hard black. Black rock called Karawa it comes from the first mold clay that has been burned by high temperatures. The resulting ground powder can be re-used to make molds. Beside him, undisturbed by noise or people passing by, a gong penyerut filing with shavings.
Dark black forged a new gong then planed surface until golden color appears behind the blackened crust. Sparkling gold granules accumulate in between her toes clamped one hand gong. He rarely looked up, because it should be able to finish day two gongs. The tool is very simple, although now has aided smoothing machine. In fact, shavings are tools that are older than two hundred and fifty years and is used in this place.In the other building, the base table gamelan makers are busy foot pole lathe and also forms a gong pillar. In the window that the sun emits, a sculptor carving work with wood hammer, bend to follow the pattern of images carved mahogany scratch above. Young colleagues, polish it carefully, so that the wood look more beautiful without losing the curve when colored engraving.                                                                        

    Workers at the plant this gong is a combination of a craftsman as well as an artist. All the work of the breath, the rhythm, and harmony played wonderful attractions such as the gamelan sound melodious and full of value.
Because here's the gong artisans dedication Sundanese and Indonesian society still have and get to know one of its cultural wealth. If only there were some places making gong like this then maybe we are not so concerned about the threat of the loss of Indonesia's cultural gems.                                                                                                   

However, this may be just one place, so it is necessary to whoever would help maintain and preserve their work like a baby. No doubt, this is one of the so-called emerald surviving cultural heritage of Indonesia, a living heritage.

Historically gold mine in Sumatra and Jambi is located in the interior highlands of Minangkabau. Although gold thread was found in the ruins of the site of Srivijaya in Sumatra, along with rubies uncut, as well as pieces of gold plate, until now there has been no definitive proof that the local weavers have used gold thread as early as the year 600's to 700's masehi.Songket may be developed at a later period in Sumatra.

BOROBUDUR ONE AMONG THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD

Echoes of Borobudur Temple? Heard throughout the world, this Buddhist temple has 1460 relief panels and 504 Buddha effigies in its complex. Millions of people yearn to visit the buildings included in one of the seven wonders of the world. Not surprisingly, since architecturally and functionally, as a place of worship, Borobudur is attractive.

                                                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                                                    was built by King Sumaratungga, one of the kings of Mataram Kingdom, Dynasty dynasty descendants. Based Kayumwungan inscription, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur is a place of worship that was completed on 26 May 824, almost one hundred years since the early days was built. The name of Borobudur, as some people means a mountain having terraces (budhara), while the other says that Borobudur means monastery on the high place.
Punden Borobudur-shaped building consists of 10 levels. Height 42 meters before it was renovated and 34.5 meters after the renovation because the lowest level was used as supporting. Six lowest level of a square and three levels on top of a circle and the highest level of Buddhist stupa facing to the west. Each level represents the stages of human life. Appropriate school of Mahayana Buddhism, every person who wants to reach the level of the Buddha must through every level of the life.

                                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                              The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizing human beings that are still bound by lust. Four levels above referred Rupadhatu symbolizes man who had to break free from lust but still bound manner and form. At these levels, statues of Buddha placed open. While, three levels above where the Buddhist stupas are laid in holes called Arupadhatu, symbolizing man who has been free from lust, appearance, and shape. The top part is called Arupa symbolizes nirvana, where Buddha is residing.
Each terrace has beautiful relief panels showing how skillful. Relief that will be read coherently when you walk in a clockwise direction (towards the left of the entrance of the temple). On the reliefs of Borobudur tells of a legendary story, the Ramayana. In addition, there are relief panels describing the condition of society at that time. For example, relief of farmers' activity reflecting the advance of agriculture system and relief of sailing boat representing the advance of the cruise that was based in Bergotta (Semarang).
All relief panels in Borobudur temple reflect Buddha's teachings. Hence, this temple functions as educating the media for people who want to learn Buddhism. I invite you to surround each of the narrow hallways in Borobudur in order to understand the philosophy of Buddhism. Atisha, a Buddhist from India in the 10th century, once visited this temple that was built 3 centuries before Angkor Wat in Cambodia and 4 centuries before the Grand Cathedrals in Europe.
Thanks to visiting Borobudur and having supply of Buddha teaching script from Serlingpa (King of Sriwijaya), Atisha was able to develop Buddhism. He became abbot Vikramasila and taught Tibetans of practicing Dharma. Six manuscripts of Serlingpa was condensed into a core doctrine called "The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment" or better known as Bodhipathapradipa.
One of the questions still unanswered about Borobudur is how the condition around the temple was built and why the temple was found to be buried. Some say Borobudur initially stood surrounded by a swamp and then buried by the eruption of Merapi. Calcutta is essentially the inscription reads 'Amawa' means sea of ​​milk. The word is then interpreted as lava of Merapi. Some others say that Borobudur buried by cold lava of Merapi.
With all the grandeur and mystery that is, only natural that many people from all over the world enter the Borobudur as a place worth visiting in his life. Besides enjoying the temple, you can walk around to the villages around Borobudur, like Karanganyar and Wanurejo to see the activities of people make crafts. You can also go to the top of Watu Kendil to be able to view panorama from the top of Borobudur. Wait what? No need to worry about an earthquake May 27, 2006, because of Borobudur is not affected at all.
