Sumberjati Temple
According
to the Nagarakertagama, King Kertarajasa of Majapahit
was immortalised through a portrait statue at
Simping. This site has been identified with Candi
Sumberjati, located to the south west of Blitar.
Although in a ruined condition today, Sumberjati
displays some fine examples of detailed relief
carving. The principal structure is thought to
have been similar in type to the temples of Kidal
and Sawentar. One of the most important pieces
of classical Javanese sculpture, possibly the
portrait statue of Kertarajasa himself, was discovered
at Candi Sumberjati. It has been suggested, for
reasons of style, that the statue may in fact
date from around A.D. 1360, when the temple was
apparently renovated during the reign of King
Hayam Wuruk. The life size stone image is now
on display at the National Museum in Jakarta.
