COLLECTIE TROPENMUSEUM Katoenen banier met Arabische kalligrafie TMnr 5663-1 (Indonesia) Shot Glass 1.5oz

Navy and white Arabic calligraphy fills a pennant-shaped cotton banner, drawn from a textile tradition in Indonesia.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep navy covers most of the field, with white script and linework standing out in sharp contrast. The composition is vertical and centred, built around a large calligraphic inscription with a double-edged sword, a stylised lion, a six-pointed star and a grid of talismanic letter squares arranged in the margins. Chevron and arrowhead shapes give the banner its pennant silhouette, and the lettering dominates every part of it.

Meaning & Symbolism

The visible inscriptions include the opening of the Bismillah, the phrase Qul huwa Allahu ahad from the Quran, and the divine names Allah, Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim. Textiles of this kind were made to carry devotional text, and the square letter arrangements reflect the talismanic writing that was common in Islamic script traditions across the Indonesian archipelago. The sword and lion add a protective, heraldic layer to the wording.

On the Shot Glass Scale

A shot glass is small and held close, so the banner reads as a compact field of script when the glass is raised. The navy and white contrast carries well at that distance, and the calligraphy invites a closer look each time the glass is turned in the hand.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
