Following male figures wearing a cap (cap-figures) in temple
reliefs of the Javanese Majapahit period (ca. 1300-1500) leads to
astonishing results on their meaning and function. The cap-figures,
representing commoners, servants, warriors, noblemen, and most
significantly Prince Panji, the hero from the East Javanese Panji
stories, are unique to depictions of non-Indic narratives. The
cap-figure constitutes a prominent example of Majapahit s
creativity in new concepts of art, literature and religion,
independent from the Indian influence. More than that, the symbolic
meaning of the cap-figures leads to an esoteric level: a pilgrim
who followed the depictions of the cap-figures and of Panji in the
temples would have been guided to the Tantric doctrine within
Hindu-Buddhist religion.
