'...Represents the interior of the building called the Tuncum, situated outside the town on the opposite side of the river; it is called the 'Tuncum', and was built by Trimul Nayak in 1630 for witnessing cock-fights. It was in 1868 occupied by the Judge of Madura...' This view looks across the room, furnished in European style, and towards a vista of cusped arches.
