What is Ebeg Dance: Cultural Heritage of Banyumas about?

Ebeg is a traditional dance from Banyumas, Java that depicts soldiers on horseback. It uses a woven bamboo horse doll with fiber hair. The dance moves demonstrate valor and courage. Ebeg art dates back to the 9th century and reflects local animism and dynamism beliefs, with no outside cultural influences. Ebeg performances are accompanied by traditional Banyumasan musical instruments like calung, bendhe gongs, and gamelan ensembles of drums, gongs and trumpets.
