The owner about the provenance: 'In the summer 1965 my parents Lin Jaldati (singer) and Eberhard Rebling (pianist, writer and musicologist) traveled to Indonesia. It was a big concert tour of three months around Southeast Asia. Indonesia, Korea, China. My father did research for his book Die Tanzkunst Indonesiens. In their memoires they wrote how they left Indonesia on August 30th, 1965. At the airport, they were presented a large farewell present in cardboard cylinder by the Indonesian Minister Njoto. Four months later, in December 1965 he was shot. Njoto (1925–1965) was a senior national leader of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI), who joined the party shortly after the country's decleration of independence and was killed following the 1965 coup attempt.'
