"explicit use of it in the Vietnamese wall tiles at Demak"
Remarks
These tiles represent the incorporation of Vietnamese ceramic traditions into the architectural landscape of the Javanese Pasisir. They are discussed as part of a wider variety of motifs, including chinoiserie blossoms and Islamic geometric star patterns found on carved panels in the same sites (p. 329). Two related panels are held in the collection of the Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen, Amsterdam (p. 329).
