Indonesia, an original hand drawn design essay for the reverse of a 5 Rupiah note, the art work most likely done at Bradbury Wilkinson, possibly by Derek Friday, the design on paper in pencil, ink and watercolour measures 13.2cms x 6.5cm, largely hand drawn directly on to the paper, with two or three other small hand drawn elements applied as overlaid panels, there are two brown rectangular stains to the design, the remains of adhesive where previously serial numbers were attached, probably as stencilled overlays, there are a number of tiny spots and stains here and there across the design, but overall clean with good colour, the reverse of the design shows evidence of previous mounting to another sheet, with remnants of mounting sheet still attached to the back
