Summary
| Description |
English: Caption: Gujarāti ship of about 600 A. D.; from the Boroboedor frieze. Ships of this type were doubtless included among the trappaga and catymba of §44, which piloted merchants into Barygaza. Post note: The ship of Borobudur is markedly different from the Andhra coin ship, it is also not a Gujarati ship—The outrigger and type of sail (canted rectangular sail or Tanja sail) are distinct features of Austronesian ships. The notion that the Borobudur ship was Gujarati can no longer be upheld, it is based on an 1800s folk story about the coming of Indian culture to Java, recent studies determined that the Indianization of Southeast Asia is seen as more of a collaborative process brought about by trade and local elites choosing to adopt ideas from India with the assistance of Brahmin scholars. |
