Note: The following text is taken from a 19th-century collection catalog and, in its language and perspective, partially reflects colonial thought patterns. We present the text in its original version to make the collection's history transparent and promote a critical examination of the colonial legacy. Certain terms and formulations may be perceived as problematic today. A 2009 research project concluded that most descriptions are factually correct and still usable; only a few details were found to be inaccurate or incorrect. The results of this project were published in the following collection catalog: khm-wmw-tm-library.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1457155265"175-176. Incense burners, bowls - "Adupa-dupang".Two small, bowl-shaped containers with a pedestal, which stands in a lower little bowl. Made from fired clay, very simply worked. Into the upper bowl is put the glowing charcoal, onto which the resin is strewn. This form in the most common in the entire Indian Archipelago and one finds several examples of these in each house."Translation of: Czurda, F. A. J. (1883).
