Every palace gamelan is thought of by members of the palace\u00a0community as having entered the social and cultural domain\u00a0of the\u00a0kraton<\/i>\u00a0during the reign of a particular sultan. This association between a sultan’s reign and a particular gamelan not only provides contemporary individuals with information about the general age of the gamelan, but more importantly reminds them that the gamelan was an actor in the network of human and material-object relationships during a specific\u00a0epoch in\u00a0the history of Yogyakarta and the house of Hamengku Buwana. Implied here is that a\u00a0gamelan is\u00a0itself a part of the aura of a particular\u00a0sultan and his court, and this sense of unity between object and ruler\u00a0is permanent. Interestingly, it does not seem to matter whether a set was commissioned by a sultan and came into being during his reign or was manufactured earlier and brought into the palace sphere already with some history. What is important seems to be\u00a0the bond between the personas of a gamelan and a sultan–that is what endures and what generates an aura about a gamelan in the minds of generations to follow. Gamelans documented on this site entered the palace sphere during the reigns\u00a0listed in the chart that follows.\u00a0If nothing else, the dates of these reigns convey the time depth of some of the palace gamelans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
