Crag with Inscription on the Dieng Plateau

Isidore Kinsbergen, 1864-07 - 1864-09

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.
