Continued from Istana Satu (The 'One Palace').

Besides the Istana Satu there exists in turn this cage-like building.

The signage says this is a place for 'Malay grave markers'.


Studying closer I found this grave markers (or gravestones, tombstones with the Malay word nisan sometimes spelt nesan) are original, not replicas.

The gravestones which are beautifully carved are of the type called Batu Aceh (Acehnese or Aceh stones) or Batu Nesan Aceh (Aceh tombstones). Read the information available. For information this is the 626th article in this blogspot.
