Like all the other instruments of the Gamelan Digul, this gong chime set was made in 1926 from any materials at hand by Javanese anti-colonial prisoners in a Dutch prison camp in West Irian (now Papua New Guinea). A wooden frame supporting 12 pannikins in two rows. The pannikins are held in position with four rows of string threaded through the wooden frame. Photo: Chris Basile, 2012.Issued: 2018-07-25
