(2)The kama?dalu is a bronze container for holy water. It's egg shaped body has a pseudo spout, in the form of a naga (dragon), which is not used for pouring its contents, while the long, multi-tiered neck at the top, is designed to fulfill this function. This neck has many embellishments and represents Meru Mountain which, in the Hindu religion, is considered holy and the domain of the gods. In Javanese mythology, the kama?dalu is often associated with the story of Garudeya, in which the Garuda, a mythological bird, succeeds in retrieving amerta (holy water) which had been taken by the Naga.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related bronze kamandalu, East Java, circa 1200, 27.3 cm high, in the British Museum, registration number 1976,0406.1.
