            JAVA UNGLAZED

            Note: The terracotta wares below were probably mostly
            made during or around the period of the Javanese
            Majapahit Kingdom (1293 to circa 1500). Most were
            probably made in Java. However, several of the kendis
            may have been made in China during the Song and
            subsequent period, especially those with a mammiform
            spout, (see section on Song to Yuan.) As described below,                K883.
