Cette étude porte sur une poutre en bois sculptée et inscrite, appelée Dhadha Peksi, qui constituait autrefois un élément structurel de l’ancienne mosquée de Lasem, aujourd’hui connue sous le nom de Masjid Jami, dans le kabupaten de Rembang, à Java Centre. À travers l’analyse de l’inscription énigmatique que porte cette poutre, ainsi que celle de ses motifs floraux complexes, cet article propose plusieurs hypothèses concernant sa datation. Grâce à une approche philologique et historico-artistique approfondie, cette étude montre que la poutre Dhadha Peksi constitue l’un des derniers témoins matériels non chinois de l’importance stratégique de Lasem dans les vastes réseaux commerciaux et culturels qui reliaient, au début du XVIIIe siècle, les villes côtières javanaises à Batavia et au-delà. |
