GONO (Gunung Gono) Gunung Gono, Banyudono, Dukun, Magelang, JT.
Surroundings: In upper middle land, on the top of the small gunung Gono, a hill that rises on the western slope of Mount Merapi. From the hill one can clearly see, Mounts Merapi, Merbabu and Sumbing. At the foot of gunung Gono, is one of the sources of the Birun River. North of hill, there is another branch of that river, while directly south of it flows kali Keji.
Religion: Hindu.
Description/sculptures: Among the trees and bushes, one can still see a huge yoni lying on its side (1.15x1.15x1m; J.117) surrounded by river stones.5 Not far from the yoni are fragments of sculptures. A body is recognizable, with a rounded belly and little legs folded underneath. This might well be the Ganeśa mentioned by Verbeek (Verbeek 1891: 154). There is no trace of the stone urn mentioned by the Dutchman.
