Buru’s First Harvest

by | Aug 20, 2025 | 0 comments

Here is an artefact from Buru Island; my older brother Tedjabayu sent this to Mother. It is the “padi kemanten” (first harvest) from the island of Buru, Unit 1, Wanapura, in 1976. The commander of this unit was Sri Murtonoputro, First Lieutenant of the Military Police, registration number 309303. Although rice kernels usually disappears from within the hulls within 4-5 years, surprisingly many of these rice hulls still contain the kernels now, even after nearly forty years.
