Indonesian Palelintangan or Astrological Calendar

Bali kept time with bulls, boats, gods and a very large piece of cotton.

This palelintangan, or astrological calendar, comes from Bali, Indonesia, and dates to the late 19th or early 20th century. It is pigment on cotton. Balinese calendars of this kind were consulted to find favorable days for important undertakings, each square carrying its own omens. Seven rows of painted scenes fill the cloth, with seated figures and deities along the top and animals, boats and shrines below. Ochre, orange and black dominate within a floral border. It measures 64 inches wide and 46.5 high.

Consider it a very patient way of asking whether Tuesday will do.
