Summary

Description
English: Cropped portion of Nicholas Vallard's manuscript sea atlas (1547), showing the inhabitants of Jave la Grande (Great Java). The people is armed with spear and shortsword with curving hilt, a feature of Indonesian weapon (golok?). The man riding a horse seems to be a leader or noble. The servant behind him carried a parasol. Several men is wearing turbans, which may indicate that they are muslims, but the women did not cover their head like muslim do (it needs to be noted that, this custom of muslim women not wearing a veil in Indonesia is quite common until after WW2). In the background are several raised wooden huts, also a feature of Indonesian building. It is unknown whether these huts are for dwelling or serve as a temporary shelter for people working on the orchard.
Bahasa Indonesia: Bagian yang dipotong dari atlas laut manuskrip Nicholas Vallard (1547), menunjukkan penduduk Jave la Grande (Jawa Besar). Orang-orang itu dipersenjatai tombak dan pedang pendek dengan gagang melengkung, ciri khas senjata Indonesia (golok?). Pria yang menunggang kuda tampaknya adalah seorang pemimpin atau bangsawan. Pelayan di belakangnya membawa payung. Beberapa laki-laki memakai turban, yang mungkin menandakan bahwa mereka beragama Islam, tetapi perempuannya tidak menutupi kepala seperti yang dilakukan muslim (perlu dicatat bahwa, kebiasaan perempuan muslim tidak berjilbab di Indonesia cukup umum sampai setelah perang dunia 2). Di latar belakang ada beberapa gubuk kayu yang ditinggikan, yang juga merupakan ciri khas bangunan Indonesia. Tidak diketahui apakah gubuk ini untuk tempat tinggal atau berfungsi sebagai tempat hunian sementara bagi orang-orang yang bekerja di kebun.
