Stone inscriptions are important for reconstructing the history of Java. Often they are also works of art in themselves. These large letters carved on a crag on the Dieng Plateau are highly decorative. At the top is a number corresponding to the year 1134 of the Shaka Era, or 1202 CE.

This work belongs to Album Ankersmit II / Van Kinsbergen met foto's van monumenten van Java (RP-F-2005-159)
