The tumpek is the most frequently painted calendar and is known as palelintangan, after lintang, the constellations. The calendar covers every combination of the five- and seven-day weeks. The seven days are vertical columns with the God, wayang figure, bird and tree appropriate to that day at the top and the animal and demonic figures (buta) at the bottom. Each day of the five-day week is a horizontal row, and as both weeks run at the same time the days succeed one another diagonally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePigment on European cotton cloth \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e118 x 158 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstimated to be from the mid 1800s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery Very rare\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #f3f3f3;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e***\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis item has spent a lifetime being used for the purpose of its creation with the original artist\/user. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSigns of this life lived heartily may be present on the piece in the form of stains, thread loss, loose threads, holes, tears, color run and other imperfections.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003eTherefore the condition must be assumed to be “not” perfect.
