This is an older (pre-1945) cloth unusual in that it has lettering in both Indonesian and Balinese. The male figure holding the pretzel-like object is Gatokaça (an ardent ally of the Pandawa family) and Swatama (a Korawa supporter). Satijawati is the wife of Salya, a Korawa general. Djenaki is related, probably by marriage, to the Korawa family.
