God image. Temple figure (arca lingga or pratima) of cut wood.
The sculpture, according to the catalogue general, depicts a Prabu from gambuh. The sculpture comes, according to the same source, from a Sanggah (house temple), who belonged to a Balinese doctor.
“Prabu: Antagonist king, or 'villain,” in gambuh. "(deBoer & I Made Bandem. 1981 p.172)
Arca lingga, or pratima, serves as a temporary home for the gods (palinggihan) during the feast of the temple. Faced with the feast of the temple, the figures are plucked out of a godlike (gedong), dressed, decorated with flowers and perfumed. The figures are ritually animated, purified annually by procession to the sea or a sacred source. The figures are placed in a pavilion (balé paruman, pangaruman or pasamuan) in the middle of the innermost temple courtyard. (Ramseyer, Urs. 1977)
