This teakwood door is displayed in front of a teakwood workshop . The workshop is going to phase out the business and try to have a big sales 50 % for speeding up the phase out. Last year i bought a teakwood bench here. The quality is good . Currently the teakwood quality is not as good as the old one since the teakwood trees is not quite old enough naturally. The market demand is high but the source is getting shortage in Java mainland. So they do a small teakwood cut then got chainsawed and sell to Jakarta and surrounding area where market demand is high and keep increasing.
This teakwood door ornament symbloized the kingly family and high society in Java . It is a banana hanging in the middle as the symbol of wealth and also the princedom. I think in many way the symbol of using bananas is also influenced by Chinese culture that use the same symbol in many aspects of live depicting the wealthness.
