Abstract
Figures begin to appear from the shadowy interior of the Dalem. First come female attendants carrying the sacred royal attributes. There appear to be about ten in all: 2 long tombak (spears or lances), 2 shorter tombak, 2 swords, 2 fan-like clusters of peacock-feathers, 1 shield or targe and 1 short staff (tongkat?). They appear in single file, moving down the steps of the Dalem along the southern edge of the paringgitan, till they reach the rim of the Pendapa. The attendants with the shorter and smaller attributes stand closest to the Pendapa, while those with the long tombak are just by the open doors of the Dalem. They now stand in a single line facing north.
